Classic FM's dynamic presenter, Natalie Wheen, steers us through the
development of Elgar's compositional genius. Hear about those brilliant creative
skills, including performances of some of his earlier compositions, shorter
choral masterpieces, culminating in his late, great and reflective choral ode
'The Music Makers', first performed in the Town Hall at the 1912 Birmingham
Festival. Hear the hauntingly beautiful voice of internationally renowned
contralto Frances McCafferty and the CBSO under Adrian Lucas' inspirational
baton in this anniversary tribute to the Midlands' greatest musical son.
