Marquee TV: Gardner conducts Elgar

Repertoire

• Coleridge-Taylor Solemn Prelude
Elgar Symphony No. 1 Listen

Performers

• Edward Gardner conductor

British music feels very close to home, but appearances can be deceptive.

Samuel Coleridge-Taylor was born in Victorian Holborn, yet his roots were in Sierra Leone. The magnificent tune that opens Elgar’s First Symphony, meanwhile, is just the gateway to something infinitely richer and more personal – a deeply emotional self-portrait of an artist on the edge. Edward Gardner will drive straight to its heart.
_{New release coming to Marquee TV on 11 Mar 2023. The concert will be free to stream for 48 hours and will then be added to the LPO catalogue, available to Marquee TV subscribers.}
