Mea culpa: 1968 was the date of composition. The recordings I have of Symphonies 2 and 4 are both off-air (not commercial) with the Bournemouth SO under Handley, the 4th dated 5 October 1979 and broadcast early the next year on 28 January, the 2nd (the file is labelled Handley) broadcast in 1976.Originally posted by Hornspieler View PostComment

We have the famous oldest brass band contest today. Bourgeois's works were featured here and at the nationals. I hope next year there will some form of tribute to the man and his music for this medium.
HS, do you know Rodney Newton, at all? He knew DB as well.Last edited by BBMmk2; 09-09-17, 08:54.Don’t cry for me

All very early ones; one cannot help but wonder why hardly any of the others have reached performance stage.Originally posted by ferneyhoughgeliebte View Posthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsLRAAMzl28
