Elgar's Piano Concerto
Saturday 23 April 2005 14:00-15:00 (Radio 3)
In the late 1920s and early 30s, towards the end of his life, Edward Elgar assembled a number of pages of short sketches and fragments for a Piano Concerto.
Over the past few years, composer Robert Walker has worked on a realisation of those fragments of Elgar, expanding them into a 36-minute work for David Owen Norris to perform. Robert Walker and David Owen Norris examine the process of composing a romantic piano concerto out of the characteristic elements that Elgar left to posterity.
The BBC Concert Orchestra is conducted by David Lloyd Jones.
