As a mark of respect, today we’re devoting the site to playing Charles Kennedy’s Desert Island Discs in hourly portions.
Disc number seven was “Nimrod” from Elgar’s Enigma Variations Simon Rattle & the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. When he introduced this one on the programme, Charles recalled the annual Remembrance ceremony in Whitehall, and how moving this music always sounds when it is played there.
