Saturday 20 November 2004 14:00-15:00 (Radio 3)
Three great British composers of the 20th century died in 1934 - Elgar, Delius and Holst. Over the next three weeks the orchestral music of each of them is put under the microscope. Today conductor Mark Elder and the Halle Orchestra explore the unique sound world of Elgar's orchestra focussing on the extrovert concert overture inspired by an Italian holiday, "In the South".
