Elgar Orgy on WHRB

Four days worth of his music, along with commentary. I know relatively little about him, to be honest. Certainly played the bejeezus out of Pomp and Circumstance #1 in high school(You want dull? Try keeping awake through the bass line in the opening movement.). In college, just sort of lumped him in with the Pastoralists (Delius, Vaughn-Williams, Finzi, etc) and left him at that.

So? I guess four days of All Elgar All the Time will be a learning experience for me. Always a good thing.
