No one less than the world-renowned violin virtuoso Fritz Kreisler once said: "If you want to know who I think is the greatest living composer, I will say Elgar without hesitation." A little later he ordered a violin concerto from Elgar, which Kreisler premiered in London in 1910. In the Stadtcasino Basel, one of the most prominent violinists of our time, the gentleman Daniel Hope, meets Ivor Bolton, who comes from near Manchester. An Anglo-Saxon evening awaits under the motto 'Very British', as Dvořák's 8th Symphony, nicknamed The "English" Symphony, is heard after the interval.
