    Agreed

    Although that version did not do it for me.

    It's great. Somehow just captures the tone of Victorian England the power of a great imperial nation.</p>

    Happy days.</p>

    Always sends tingles down my spine.

    Had it played last week for my ( and Fired's and Posh Tyke's) Mum's funeral as she loved it so much. As you say, simply one of the best pieces of music written ever.

    his Cello Concerto in E Minor is my favourite piece (the Adagio/Moderato movement especially)

    But Nimrod is quality too :)

    I prefer Jupiter. A lot more open, free, and inspirational I think.

    The Elgar Cello Concerto is sublime. Especially played by the late Jacqueline du Pre.
