[Cockney Sparrow]

That Tallis Fantasia performance made it onto a BBC MM CD, as the filler to Belshazzar's Feast: Vol 7 no 11.

Thanks Pulcinella - I will scan Ebay/other usual places for it. The audio will have to do me for the moment. Although the programme may not be the quality of the latest 4k video, I would love to see/hear the Gloucester performance on the widescreen TV. And the other programmes in the series. (And, to hark on, the quality just has to be miles better than the TOTP repeats I keep avoiding).

A beautiful work, with its slow movement memorial to William Morris; but quite uncharacteristic of Holst's more mature style. Indeed, apart from Bartok and Stravinsky, I cannot think of another composer whose musical language changed more with the coming of maturity.

Good to have an alternative to the Munich/Bostock recording in The British Symphonic Collection.

There's already the Naxos version mentioned in post #69.

Just a small thought after catching up with this on iplayer (enjoyable if not for me particularly revelatory):

Tom Service -



John Ogdon -

Which one is the dimple pint tankard version?

(I'm suddenly struck, from looking hard at John Ogdon's face, with this question - was he mixed race??)

Possibly not, unless being born in Nottinghamshire qualifies one as such. On the other hand, TS might be!
