	Edward Elgar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Elgar's Symphony No. 1 (1908) was given one hundred performances in its first year, and in 1911, the year of the completion of his Symphony No. 2, he had the Order of Merit bestowed upon him.
		Elgar lived in the village of Kempsey from 1923 to 1927, during which time he was made Master of the King's Musick.
		Elgar's sketches for his third symphony were elaborated in the 1990s by the composer Anthony Payne.

	Elgar, Edward William - Musical Biographies
		The elder Elgar was a partner in a music-selling firm, was the organist of St. George's Church in Worcester for thirty-seven years, and played the violin in the orchestra of the Three Choir Festivals.
		Elgar presupposes familiarity with the Scriptures in his hearers, bringing out in The Apostles only such points as are of salient interest or dramatic value; and this lack of minor details may have been confusing to some of his critics.
		Elgar's variations for orchestra was given at Monte Carlo during December, 1907, by the Lamoreux Orchestra, and received very favorable comment in French journals.

	American Symphony Orchestra - Essay
		Britten was only twenty and Elgar exactly twice that age when they did their revisions, but the principle is the same, and the materials in both cases were in existence by the time each composer was twelve years old.
		Though self-taught as a composer, he had good teachers on several instruments: he mastered piano and violin as a small child, picked up knowledge of the organ from his father's professional work, and had begun to add viola, cello, and bassoon to his conquests before he was ten.
		Elgar was unerring." In this respect as in others, the child was clearly father to the man.

	Elgar - His Music : Cello Concerto - Jacqueline du Pré: The concerto's consummate interpreter?
		Elgar's concerto had an immediate attraction for her, and it would become the work she performed more than any other.
		The next morning Jackie called her sister and said, "Hil, I'm in love, I'm in love." The two saw each other as much as possible over the next few months, despite their busy schedules, and in May they were married in Jerusalem.
		Du Pré conveys all of Elgar's yearning, tenderness and defiant despair, and Barbirolli's accompaniment is almost telepathic in its response to each fluctuation of tempo and tone colour.

		An essential move seems natural to The Sisters but is to set them crucially apart from (and ahead of) their peers: they are now anchored and driven by the legendary Doktor Avalanche, drum machine.
		The Sisters Of Mercy were the most bootlegged band of the decade, but had completely stopped playing live when they seemed at the height of their power.
		The Sisters were bigger than ever before, and in a position to refocus with confidence on the future.

	PMC ESSAYS: Herter - Elgar's Polonia
		Elgar, however, was not the first composer to have written a work entitled "Polonia".
		[8] In fact, it was Elgar's composition which became a source of consolation and inspiration for one of Poland's greatest composers and conductors of the second half of the 20th century - Andrzej Panufnik (1914-1990).
		Elgar's compassion for the Poles' tragic suffering during the war served as an example for other English composers to make their own Polish musical statements in kind.

	ELGAR - The Elgar Trail
		Indeed, like most of us, Elgar detested the upheaval and disruption of moving house and left the bulk of the work - the finding and viewing of suitable properties, negotiating the lease or purchase, organising the packing, removal and unpacking - to his wife Alice.
		While Elgar claimed to have composed his wind quintet music during sermons in the organ loft at St George's church, it seems improbable, given the effort required, that he could have done so and therefore likely that many of the compositions from around 1880 were composed in sister Pollie's house.
		Elgar found the countryside - the peace and quiet, the views, sounds and smells - inspiring and, early in 1898, began to look for a cottage in the countryside to use as a retreat from the pressures and disturbances of Malvern.

	Review: Hilary and Jackie (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Every subject that it touches on, from the love/rivalry relationship of sisters to the line between genius and madness to the price of celebrity, is handled flawlessly.
		Fans of classical music may recognize that the version of the Elgar Cello Concerto (Jacqueline's "signature piece") used in this film is an actual recording of one of her performances.
		In fact, the relationship between the two sisters works because Griffiths is able to rise to Watson's level, and, on those occasions when the film focuses on Hilary, Griffiths' performance holds our attention.

		It is based on a true story of wealthy English-German twin sisters raised in St. Petersburg who move to southwest Finland with their family after the 1917 revolution.
		In conversation with real outsiders, the vocal lines are more realistic give-and-take; but when, near the start of the second act, the sisters share a dream, two men in the dream sing a duet as sinuous and expressive as the music for the sisters themselves.
		The sisters wind up in a half-waking, half-dreamlike state ("It is time--it is time to go, time to know/ Everything is prepared, the veil falls off") with friends and family from the past arriving, and they all dance out into the moonlight.

	Sob for the sisters: "Hilary and Jackie'
		Jacqueline achieved international stardom as a cellist, married pianist-conductor Daniel Barenboim, found her career curtailed by the onset of multiple sclerosis in 1973 when she was 27 and died in 1987.
		If you're not familiar with any or all of the du Pre saga (and the cellist's American appearances were very limited), you may find "Hilary and Jackie" a mere sudser with an unhappy ending, a "Rashomon" -like structure and wall-to-wall music on the soundtrack.
		Except for a single recording of the Elgar Concerto, all the cello playing you hear is not by du Pre, although the artist left a substantial discography.

	Hilary and Jackie
		As a child, Jacqueline was initially in the shadow of her older sister Hilary, an excellent flautist in her own right.
		The main theme, heard in both 'Sisters' and 'A Day on the Beach', is a faraway, dreamy melody with long, lustrous string lines, a romantic-sounding piano and, at the beginning of the final track, a virtuoso cello performance by Caroline Dale.
		Over the years, the sisters' relationship changes from mutual affection and admiration to total dependency by one on the other, by way of optimism, hope, jealousy, bitterness and anger.

		But probably it was the juxtaposition of the extraordinary relationship, the pressure-cooker love of the two sisters, delivered with such muted English understatement and the pure, over-the-top emotional explosion of the Elgar...

	Virtual Urth - Hilary and Jackie Reviewed By Jill Cozzi
		The story of the two musician sisters is one of a relationship that is both close and adversarial, and therefore emblematic of the conflicts that characterize the interactions between many pairs of sisters.
		Hilary DuPré is portrayed as a rising young musician when her younger sister Jacqueline eclipses her achievements and goes on to become the toast of classical music fans all over Europe.
		The story is so potentially riddled with cliches (the sister who chooses a glamorous career envying the one who chose a life of quiet domesticity and vice versa; the horrifying-but-noble death from a disease we all fear) that it is a stunning achievement that this film avoids seeming maudlin or hackneyed.

		The marches that Elgar wrote, whether for public occasions or as an incidental part of other works, represents only one aspect of his achievement as a composer.
		Forty years after writing the tunes for a children's play about age, youth and escapism to fairyland, for performance in the family with his brothers and sisters, Elgar refashioned them into the two suites known as The Wand of Youth, from which 'Wild Bears' continues to enjoy a separate existence as a popular concert encore.
		With its tender, wistful moods and restrained scoring, the Nursery Suite of 1930 is Elgar's final evocation to childhood.

		MUSCAT — The future of classical music in the Sultanate is assured, thanks to the budding musical genius of three young Omani sisters.
		Suha (14), Lamia (12) and Intisar Nasser Mohammed Al Wahaibi (9) are probably the only Omani sisters of their kind and theirs could probably be the only Omani family blessed with three equally musically-talented children who can play Western classical music.
		It is hoped by many that the trio’s scintillating performance would blaze a trail for many other Omanis nurturing such fond musical hopes.

		Far be it from me, as I say, to object to this interpretation on political grounds: after all, this is a free country and Sir Laurence is entitled to his opinions: I object to it as being in terribly bad taste and totally at variance with Chekhov’s intentions as clearly outlined in the play.

		Rokha Rokha Drum survived long enough to play their "arty-farty" music at four or five gigs between 1984-85 in "galleries and snobby cafes", and also to record an eight-song demo tape, apparently lost forever in 1986.
		The Elgar Sisters were active around 1985, and featured Thor Eldon, Sigtryggur Baldursson (the Sugarcubes' Siggi) and the modestly-named God Krist (ex-Kukl) on guitar.
		Although the band never performed live, the Elgar Sisters wrote and recorded 11 songs, all of which remained unreleased until 1993, when Björk resurrected three reflective numbers for her solo B-sides: "S`idast Eg" and the instrumental "Glora" on "Big Time Sensuality", and "Stigdu M`ig" on "Venus As A Boy".
