Because I feel a bit awkward liking his music. I love the cello concerto and Sea Pictures and Enigma etc and don't care if it is a bit over-emotional. But on Saturday I took DS#1 and DD to see the Bournemouth Symphony Orch. version of the Last Night of the Proms. I am always on the look out for accessible live classical music for them and they enjoyed it. But then we started on the Pomp and Circumstance and the flag waving and I felt so uncomfortable. Not really my kind of thing at all.
Is Elgar generally a bad thing?
