    The man seems to be pretty good when it comes to composing some ‘suitably uplifting’ music. It’s all very patriotic and stuff like that and I do like it.

    It’s pretty good, yeah.

    The Cello Concerto in E minor is a lovely piece:

    Got to be said, mind: Elgar’s no Beethoven.

    He used to cycle from Malvern, Worcs to watch his beloved Wolves play. Now that is dedication.

    I love Elgar’s work. The Enigma Variations never fails to bring a tear to my eye. Beautiful stuff.

    Pompous nonsense. Needs confining to the nationalistic age from whence it came.

    Music for broadsheet readers to get dewy eyed to.

    I knew he was a cyclist – Golden Sunbeam, I think was his preferred mount.

    Didn’t know about the music though – aren’t we cyclists talented? 🙂
