    Advice wanted please

    I have some I Tunes vouchers (christmas presents) burning a hole in my pocket.
    Despite my love of British music I am ashamed to say I don't have anything by Rubbra,Havergal Brian and George Lloyd in my collection and am looking to remedy this by downloading a symphony or 2 by each of them.
    Any suggestions ?
    Thanks in advance.

    Are Lyrita on iTunes? If so, all are catered for by that label in excellent performances.

    e.g.

      Rob: I second PJPJ's recommendation of those Lyrita Brian recordings. I have them on LP and the 6th is probably my favourite Brian work, short but immensely concentrated
      I keep hitting the Escape key, but I'm still here!

        The Rubbra Symphonies on Chandos by Hickox are a great set, and I see you can download the whole lot (5 discs' worth) from Amazon for £13 or so. (My cds cost considerably more than that ) If pushed to one cd, I think I'd pick the coupling of Nos 2 and 6. Well worth exploring.

            The Lyrita box set with Sir Edward Downes is superb!
