Elgar: Piano Concerto
Robert Walker and David Owen Norris discuss the process of composing a Piano Concerto from the sketches and fragments left by Edward Elgar. David Owen Norris is joined by the BBC Concert Orchestra.
Towards the end of his life, in the late 1920s and early 30s, Edward Elgar assembled a number of pages of short sketches and fragments for a Piano Concerto. Over the past few years, composer Robert Walker has worked on a realisation of these fragments of Elgar, expanding them into a substantial work. In this programme composer and pianist examine the process of composing a Romantic piano concerto out of the characteristic elements that Elgar left to posterity.
