Presented by Ian Skelly.
Including a chance to hear the inaugural recording by the 大象传媒 Philharmonic of Elgar's The Crown of India - an elaborate masque written in 1912 to celebrate the coronation of King George V and Queen Mary as Emperor and Empress of India the previous year. The original orchestration has been lost, so composer and Elgar expert Anthony Payne has reconstructed the music for this recording of a little-known period piece.
