Customer Reviews

Not Enough About the Muse -- Superficial
Elgar's Tenth Muse was interesting, up to a point. However, the content was inadequate and superficial. If there had been more said about Jelly d'Aranyi, or about Lady Elgar, the DVD would have been more interesting. As it was, there seemed to be Much Ado About Nothing.
