Cue Sheet entry

DEFENCE OF THE REALM

    Regarding my little rant about British critics and Elgar, the most civilized Bernard Chasan responds:

I have been using my ears for many many years and my ears tell me that Elgar is one of the greats—the concerti, the two official symphonies, Sea Pictures, are all first rate. I am not English, although I have to admit that I spent a week in London in 2001. Perhaps they drugged me. You are right however, that the Brits really promote their own.
