A wonderfully evocative film which remains vivid to this writer even though I have not seen this TV production for many years. At the time it set a standard for sympathetic dramatisation of the lives of musical icons. This work is light years away from Ken Russell's later excursions into cinematic pyrotechnics and excesses, but the roots of that curiosity about musical genius is clear in "Elgar".
If you have seen "Hilary and Jackie", you will want to see this moving film that tells the story of the composer of the piece of music that Jacqueline Du Pre will always be associated with: Elgar's Cello Concerto.
