As Elgar himself described it (quotating from John Ruskin’s Sesame and Lilies):
‘This is the best of me; for the rest, I ate, and drank, and slept, loved and hated, like another: my life was as the vapour and is not; but this I saw and knew; this, if anything of mine, is worth your memory.’

Tenor: Jonathan Cooke
Mezzo soprano: Felicity Buckland
Bass: Patrick Keefe
Organ: Ben Giddens
Chorus Master: Greg Hallam
With the British Sinfonietta directed by George de Voil
