大象传媒

Hear the full performance of Elgar's piece by the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Rafael Payare.

After creating a theme based on his own personality, Elgar developed 14 variations that act as short sketches of his wife, friends and acquaintances. Each using different musical elements of the original theme, the variations show the power of music to vividly convey personality, a memory or a moment in time.
