BBC MM out with RVW symphony no 6, conducted by Boult

[salymap]

I received my magazine today. The recording was made at the proms on 16th August 1972.

Haven't played it yet but it will have to be very special to better my favourite, the 10 inch LP I have with Sir Adrian and the LSO, part of the early LPO set but the scherzo revision meant re-recording it and I suppose the LPO weren't available.

It still leaps off the disc

When back in Blighty recently, I procured both BBC MM and Gramophone and found both a pleasant read. I expect to take out subscriptions to both before long.

Does anyone know if anyone can order individual issues of either magazine online?

Thropple, it gives full details in the magazine of back issues available. They certainly have details of how to order also.

Wizard, Saly, as all the cool kids said in 1903.

Salymap, is that BLP 1001, in the gatefold cover with HMV red and yellow colours? I have that one and very fine it is too.

Yes it is -it's lovely and all those royal coats of arms etc make it look special = and a lovely recording.

I was rather disappointed with the latest BBCMMagazine: 42 pages with IMO just straightforward ads for music festivals with hardly any value for reference purposes, against less than 29 pages of CD/DVD/Book reviews in an issue of 142 pages.
On top of that: the index is far from faultless. Try to find the American Mavericks CD e.g.
Haven't listened yet to the CD, but it looks promising.

The Boult VW 6 from the 1972 Proms Has been issued already on a CD coupled with a Maida Vale recording of the Pastoral with Valerie Hill as the soprano soloist, This was on the short lived series issued by Carlton as BBC Radio Classics. I'll have to compare it with the BBC MM issue to see if it has been remastered. Martin Brabbins should be good in the Frank Bridge coupling.

It would be nice if BBC MM could reissue a very nice Radio Classics CD which includes Ireland's Forgotten Rite, Bax's Siesta and other short English works. I prefer this Ireland performance to the one on Lyrita.

'Noggo, what I do is wait about five years, and the Cd's turn up in charity shops for £2.
Sure fire.

And,completely off topic, I'm already looking forward to 'Composer[s] of the Week',beginning on the 15th April - Gordon Jacob and Joseph Horovitz.

I have that BBC Radio Classics CD but marginally prefer the Boult performance from July 7 1972, also with the BBCSO, in Cheltenham Town Hall and issued on BBC Legends.

Splendid - I had more or less decided to make my copy of this MM disc my morning drivetime listening for Relief from Comic Relief Day.
That's now settled.

Would that be the same Joseph Horovitz who did that awful Sunday Night at the London Palladium-type thing "Noah and his Ark", which I bought for my father back in the early 70s because he was into the Kings Singers?

Captain Noah and his Floating Zoo, words by the great Michael Flanders. A favourite of Philip Reed, former librarian of the Britten-Pears Library in Aldeburgh and editor of the Britten Letters.

I loathed it, and think you're being very unfair to the memory of Sunday Night at the London Palladium, S_A!
