Sir Edward Elgar : Rosemary (That’s for Remembrance). William Kay Blacklock : Paintings.

The title of this touching little piece by Elgar is taken from Ophelia’s words in Act IV of Hamlet : “There’s rosemary, that’s for remembrance; pray, love, remember“. The piece is played in this recording by the Northern Sinfonia of England, conducted by Richard Hickox. The paintings are by the English artist, William Kay Blacklock.
