hsd anyone listened to his conducting of his own violin concerto in b minor, op. 61? i heard it on www.wnyc.org/music/playlists/08212002.html it's really beautiful.

do you know why benches fall apart? it is because they have lids with little tiny hinges so you can store music inside them. hint: buy a bench that does not hinge. buy it for sturdiness.

If you've heard his violin concerto, you should hear his cello concerto - amazing, if oddly organized, piece. I have duPre's recording, it's quite sublime.

I have the recording or old eddy boy conducting his violin concerto with yehudi menuhin as soloist... when he was 13 I think. Insane. But unforunately, Elgars aesthetics don't do much for me. I tried to like it, really... it's just not my style. Does anyone else have a problem with his music?
