    Probably only of interest to die hard British music fans.
    Parry's 'The Pied Piper of Hamelin'.
    Not easy to listen to due to poor sound,an earlier upload was even worse.
    Some clever soul on here might know the performers (where's Roehre when you need him?),Pabmusic maybe ?

          a great discovery indeed ER. thanks for that.

          plenty of drama in this somewhat legendary ( it seems) recording.

          it has never been performed at the proms.
          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.

            Crikey Rob, thanks.... good stuff there, both shall be watched/heard when time permits. Shamefully, I have never heard of Stanley B let alone heard his 3rd.

            And the video that cues up here after the Howells is fascinating too - Shostakovich 15 for chamber ensemble! Only had time to hear a few moments, but I like it!

            Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
            Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
            Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

              Cal,an even better work,IMO,is the wonderful Viola Concerto.
              Echoes of RVW,DSCH and the Walton concerto,I can't find a video but wholeheartedly recommend the cd

                Hiya EdgeleyRob,

                I rather enjoy the Bate viola concerto although I don’t place it as high as the Walton. Also on the disc RVW Romance and the WH Bell Rosa Mystica are both disappointing.

                  I agree Stan,not in the same league as the Walton but a fine concerto.

                    Here's another.
                    The 1966 premiere of the work that was commissioned for the opening of the Severn Bridge



                    Loads of rarely heard British music here

                    FILM MUSIC: Unreleased and rare film scores. All videos contain music not released commercially on CD. Most pieces of music are ripped from the movies' actual soundtrack and sound effects and dialogue (if present) are removed as much as possible. If it is discovered that a film score has been issued on CD/digitally, the music video will be deleted. The music runs from the Golden Age of the 1940s through the present time and comes from American, British, Czech-Slovak, French, Polish, Swedish and Russian films (and every country in-between). CLASSICAL MUSIC: Radio broadcast works and rare recordings. Virtually all the videos are recordings from radio and a great many are the only known performances of a given work. Less often, you will discover live recordings and the odd, very rare and long out-of-print LP. As with the film music videos, I do not share music from CDs on the channel.


                    And the British and Irish classical music Facebook group which is where most of my postings come from.

                      OK noted Rob re: Stan B. Viola concertos are my favourite kind of string concertos - and I've noticed that Dutton CD before, now you come to mention it.

                      And now for something completely different. Not on YouTube but should be accessible by everyone, I found it interesting to watch this 1 hour practice session by Jan Lisiecki



                      for his concert this evening at the auditorium in the Louis Vuitton Foundation - Frank Gehry's creation in the Bois de Boulogne in Paris





                      .

                      This is the programme

                          From a radio broadcast in 1972 I think

                                Treat for neglected Brits fans and,I think,lovers of good Piano Sonatas.
