Composer of the Week - Eric Coates - Sound and Vision

Eric Coates (1886-1957) Donald Macleod salutes a composer with a unique ability to match a national mood with music. 5/5. Sound and Vision. Coates wishes he hadn't given up cigarettes, flirts with politics and royalty, and starts his film career at age 68. And to finish the week, a rare foray into chamber music and the composer's own favourite work.
