We're still in Vancouver, B.C., along with the stone image of yesterday. In the Northwest, you must be specific when mentioning Vancouver as there are two of them, Vancouver, British Columbia and Vancouver, Washington (an altogether inferior place). No Elgar bronzes. What a strange world. But he did also write the Enigma Variations, I can't help but feel a certain affection and respect for him in the context of his own time. Look at him conducting Hope and Glory in 1931, even the absurd Vancouver bronze seems right somehow.
