Malvern, Worcester and Aldeburgh: Sir Edward Elgar & Benjamin Britten

The English countryside surrounding Worcester, Malvern and the Malvern Hills is where we explore the music of Sir Edward Elgar. We also visit the Royal Albert Hall before a sojourn in to the beachside town of Aldeburgh, home to Benjamin Britten and the inspiration for many of his great compositions. Elgar's Serenade for Strings (first and second movements) and his touching Salut d' Amour performed by Helena Rathbone, together with the 'Playful Pizzicato' from Britten's A Simple Symphony are performed by the ACO2.
