Didn't know of either Elgar or Dupre before this but I'm very impressed! :thumb: Whenever I see and hear music like this I feel totally inadequate with my musical skills. My guitar playing and writing seem so silly compared this!

Nice music. Classical is something I've only become interested in in recent years, so there's a lot that's new to me.

And even the youtube comments on classical music are trollish.

I only knew this in the version by Venetian Snares ((http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PBeKzVhWHY) Szamár Madár), it's interesting to hear the original.
By interesting I mean boring.
