Elgar is widely considered the greatest of all English composers. His symphonies, concertos, oratorios and the famous "Enigma Variations" are all expressions of an outstanding musical talent. Yet the man himself and the life he led are a paradox. Although he never possessed great wealth, he was among the most successful figures of the Edwardian era.
