Adrian Williams’ short work, Russells’ Elegy, is a deeply touching meditation of friendship and loss, emerging from and retreating to silence. Edward Elgar’s Nimrod has long had special poignancy at this time of year, and is heard in a powerful new arrangement for solo cello (Raphael Wallfisch) and strings by the great Elgarian, Donald Fraser.
