Description
BBC R3 - David Pownall's 'Elgar's Rondo'
Adapted from his stage play by David Pownall
Originally written for the RSC
First performed 1993
Directed by Martin Jenkins
Broadcast June 3, 2007
Coded from tape at 128/44.1

The public's negative reaction to his Second Symphony left Elgar unable to focus.
Here his circle try to get him back on track.

Quote from David Pownall's Guardian article
Adapting the play for radio today, I'm still disturbed by how far Elgar was knocked
off course by one rejection. After 35 years of writing, I know about those body-blows.
Elgar had a huge support system cushioning his inertia for seven years - its cloth-ears
having caused it. The bare mountain of self, where artists live when young, is the place
for symphonies. Without the curse of the wrong kind of glory, what would we have had
from the piano-tuner's son who taught himself everything?
