Info

Sir Edward William Elgar war der erste bedeutende Komponist in Großbritannien nach Henry Purcell (1659-1695). Dass er quasi zum Synonym für englische Musik wurde, ist vor allem "patriotischen" Werken wie den fünf Orchestermärschen op.39 "Pomp and Circumstance" zu danken. Deren erster in D-Dur mit der Hymne "Land of Hope and Glory" beschließt auch heute noch alljährlich die "Last Night" der Promenadenkonzerte in der Londoner Royal Albert Hall. Elgar übte maßgeblichen Einfluß auf die britische Musik aus, insbesondere auf Ralph Vaughan Williams und seinen langjährigen engen Freund Gustav Holst. Sir Edward Elgar starb am 23.2.1934 in Worcester.
