This is the life of the great British Composer Sir Edward Elgar as seen through the eyes of journalists who were around him at the time. Their unbiased reports provide a fascinating insight into Elgar and his music from the very earliest days, when he was an unknown musician in the English Midlands, through the days of his greatest works as a composer and finally through to his later years and death. There are many surprises on the way as the contemporaneous reports throw doubt on many of the accepted versions of his life and activities. There are many first night reports of his works and interviews with him throughout his life. It's written in a journalistic style and therefore appeals to all - providing new information to those who know of Elgar and his music, and new and entertaining information on for those who are not familiar with one of the world's greatest classical composers.
