      Both favourites for me too though I'd still give the palm to Holst's, which has been imprinted very deeply in my brain for 40+ years.
      I keep hitting the Escape key, but I'm still here!

        On this morning's 'Breakfast' Martin Handley played a movement of John Foulds's cello concerto. Does anybody out there know this piece?

          Yep,it’s coupled with the Lionel Sainsbury Concerto on Dutton.
          It has a rather beautiful slow movement,is this what they played ?,the rest of the work is not especially memorable for me.
          The LS work is far better IMVHO.
          I was wondering what to listen to later,your post has prompted me to play this

            Never heard of Lionel Sainsbury previously, ( or if I have I have forgotten) so have lined this up for a listen. Thanks for the tip.
            I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

            I am not a number, I am a free man.
