About "Pomp & Circumstance Marches, Op. 39: I. March No. 1 in D Major" by Barry Tuckwell
Elgar's march, that immortal pomp, played with brass and ceremony. Tuckwell conducts a wave of national pride, but the grandeur feels brittle—a parade passing over a fault line. It's triumph and unease intertwined, the calm before a storm no one names.
