麻豆约拍

We eavesdrop on rehearsals as Manchester鈥檚 Hall茅 Orchestra prepare for a performance of Elgar鈥檚 Enigma Variations. The Hall茅鈥檚 Music Director, Sir Mark Elder and players from the orchestra give us their insider's perspective on this celebrated music and show how they work together to bring it to life in the concert hall.

Associate Leader, Sarah Ewins, Principal Viola, Tim Pooley and Principal Flute, Amy Yule all describe the delights and challenges of working on this piece.
Sir Mark Elder discusses his role in uniting the players in a fresh and cohesive performance.

And Em Marshall-Luck, Founder-Director of the English Music Festival, gives historical context to the music.
