WOODFORD GREEN, ESSEX IG8 OER 081- 506 0912 EDITORIAL Vol.8, No.5 May 1994 It was sixty years ago on 23 February last that Elgar died. Such anniversaries often give rise to reassessments of the status of composers or other creative artists. To judge by the number of new articles, books and recordings there has been no diminution in Elgar’s reputation since the Fiftieth anniversary in 1984. For Bayan Northcott, writing in The Independent on 1 January, this constant flow of material creates a problem of emphasis : "What, by now, do we not know about Elgar?... Granted, he was bom into a Victorian culture that placed an exceptional value on memory, on the souvenir, on storing up golden moments; granted his canny instinct for self-projection seems to have attracted a steady stream of friends with diaries and cameras ever at the ready. But as the memoirs, picture-books and editions of letters have tumbled from the press, they have at least been matched by earnest psychological studies of his contradictory character; by socio-economic investigations of his upwardly mobile urges and professional rivalries; by politico- cultural diagnoses of his career as bard of a dying imperialism.

  • Sir Edward Elgar
    ML4IO E4P8 THE LIBRARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA LOS ANGELES ' 12 Sir Edward Elgar shown by the inscription on the title page of the first " symphony, To Hans Richter, Mus. Doc. True Artist and True Friend." There is one other name that we must esteem as high as Richter's in connection with Elgar, and that is Landon Ronald. Mr. Ronald is probably that greatest exponent of Elgar that has ever lived, up to the present. His work to make Elgar known has been even more untiring that Richter's. His efforts throughout Great Britain have been so per- sistent that his name has become almost a synonym of Elgar. His most striking achievements include the securing of appreciation of Sunday afternoon audiences at Albert Hall for the symphonies, each of which takes up best part of an hour to play, and his hard fight against an apathetic public to rescue the E flat Symphony from oblivion, culminating in the work being described as one of the finest symphonies since Beethoven's day. He has performed the first symphony in Rome and Paris, and given an orchestral concert devoted entirely to Elgar's works at Queen's Hall, London. The interpretations by Landon Ronald of Elgar are remarkable for their insight and wealth of ex- pression, and are generally accepted to be the most authoritative. The full extent of the famous con- ductor's work to make the British public understand the genius in their midst, we are expressly forbidden to mention, but should the facts ever come to light, His Career *3 the world will see yet another example of the self- sacrificing love of true genius for fellow genius.
