Why won't they release it?

Northumbrian/North country Songs by Brannigan/Moore. Originally on Decca(I think) 45's

Issued 1960 on Columbia 45 EPs (7EG 8551 / 7EG 8578) - which I have - as with the following years stereo LP (CSD 1350) "Songs You Remember" - with Ernest Lush.

Alison you're absolutely right there - there's all the Enigma stuff - Complete Beethoven Syms, an excellent complete repeats Schubert 9 among others - all disappeared off the recorded music radar - never been on CD!

Ah yes, Enigma was the other label I was trying to remember. I'd love to hear those LvB symphonies again. My dad had them on LP. A more stimulating conductor than Mark Elder in much of the core repertoire IMHO.

I remember JL conducting the Munich PO in Brahms Sym 1 - deputising for an indisposed Kempe - a great performance!

His Elgar symphonies were notable renditions too.

Yes, I could easily imagine that very distinguished Brahms in the concert hall.

Tibor Varga Nielsen concerto

Yes please, plus the Markevich Recording of Nielsen's 4th Symphony that appeared in the same LP series.

In double-quick time - the Regimental Band of the Scots Guards LP is here:

...not sure how you do PM - so maybe Petrushka should be notified that "Sam Rhodes - Men in Skirts" (The Musical) is available.....

And still available on CD for pennies from Amazon. Superb conductor - yes a CfP Loughran (and Handley) box would be treasurable.

Cheers frankwm You've just made my day.

Many thanks.

Would certainly welcome a Loughran box. His Brahms symphonies and Walton Belshazzar, for example, are top notch performances. I saw a lot of Loughran and the Halle at the time these recordings were made hearing live both Elgar symphonies, Brahms 3, RVW 9 and much else. A much under-rated conductor.

I'd be interested to know what Hornspieler thinks of Loughran. He was assistant conductor at Bournemouth when Silvestri was there, and suffered a little in comparison...I was in my teens/late teens then, not very knowledgeable, but the difference in the sound of the orchestra when Silvestri came back after Loughran had been filling in, was astonishing. Under Silvestri, a colourful sound, a swashbuckling orchestra, huge sweeps of emotion, but detail too. Loughran seemed plain!

There's no way any of this is fair to him, of course. I do remember a fine Shostakovich 5, and a performance of some striking pieces by Henze, which left the Bournemouth audience around me baffled, at best.

Time to revive this excellent thread!

ELGAR: Choral Songs, cond. Boult, with talks by Boult and Carice Elgar, Elgar Society ELGS002, reissued by EMI on ED290818-1, but never made it to CD.

and a repeat request for:
VINTER: The Trumpets, cond. Vinter, with Owen Brannigan as the soloist, EMI CSD 3564. A wondefully exhilarating piece, especially when it's done as well as it is here.

[Petrushka]

Time to revive this excellent thread!

I wonder how many of the recordings on our various wish lists have finally made it to CD since the thread was started?

Certainly, my plea for the Shostakovich 15th Symphony in the premiere recording with son Maxim conducting has fallen on deaf ears at Melodiya.

Shortened the life of my S/H Canoscan doing all those..
Here's another 200+ you could upload; must be a Harry Secombe aficionado around here...

(The Pretre Shosty 12 is crap (a technical term for arthritic orchestral playing) - certainly when compared to the full-price ASD/Mravinsky)

I'm sorry to say so, but you could say the same of the symphony as well as the playing.

[umslopogaas]

#6 visualnickmos. Apologies if this has already been said, I havent read all nine pages. The Classics For Pleasure issue of Pretre's version of Shostakovich symphony 12 was a bargain price reissue. The original issue was a full price HMV LP, ASD 559.
