Elgar’s Symphonies
Ahead of the LPO’s performances of both of Elgar’s symphonies in January 2023, YolanDa Brown sits down with violinist Tom Eisner, cor anglais player Sue Böhling and horn player Martin Hobbs to find out what is so special about Elgar’s music. Elgar’s symphonies bring back memories for the musicians, but is it useful to always associate Elgar with ‘Britishness’? YolanDa also asks why you need so much stamina to play the two symphonies (especially for wind players), and Tom reveals that you can tell that Elgar played second violin by the way he wrote for the section. Plus, soaring melodies that give you that tingling feeling… Produced by Tandem Productions for the London Philharmonic Orchestra. #OffstagePod Twitter: @LPOrchestra Instagram: @londonphilharmonicorchestra Facebook: @londonphilharmonicorchestra Hosted on Acast.
