    Enigma Variations: Finale (Edu)
    Nov 27 2020

    We reach the finale of the Enigma Variations, an exuberant self-portrait. It's like the climax of a birthday party - having met many of Elgar's friends in the preceding variations, now it's time for Edward himself to blow out the candles of his cake!

    Enigma Variations: Dora, Dan, Basil and Mary
    Nov 24 2020

    There are so many different portraits hidden in Elgar's Enigma Variations. Here we look at four more: a friendly page-turner, a swimming bulldog, a cellist, and a mysterious lady on the other side of the world. This takes us through variations 10, 11, 12, and 13 – we're really getting to know that 'Enigma' theme by now!

    Enigma Variations: Winifred and Nimrod
    Nov 19 2020

    Here we get to the heart of Elgar's Enigma Variations. First we join the composer on a visit to Sherridge, country home of the Norbury family. Then we revel in 'Nimrod', a heartfelt tribute to a very dear friend. What does the music tell us about these people, and how does it work?
