I'm sorry to have missed this symphony. My McCabe library is this one CD ,http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mccabe-Quart...mccabe+quartet but it's strongly recommended as an introduction. I do have Mr McCabe heavily marked for further investigation though.

Roll on retirement

Quite a few McCabe discs currently available, I was surprised and delighted to see on a quick surf of the (Time & the) River people. As soon as this:

... becomes readily available, I would urge anyone who doesn't know it to grab it with alacrity: gorgeous Music.

A bit pricey if they should so wish, Bbm:

As an appetite-whetter, there's this on youTube:

... which makes a full-price disc seem less expensive.

[BBMmk2]

Ah, amazon's brass band cds are. I would reccomend www.worldofbrass.com, although a few pence cheaper, may help better?

Just now listening to the Cyril Rootham Elegy for the Fallen - a wonderful choral/orchestral work on the grandest scale that makes it's debt to Vaughan Williams's Sea Symphony clear, but is certainly none the worse for that. Good programme, this.

[BBMmk2]

Yes, indeed, SA. This is truly a wonderful work.Possibly better than Elgar's? I think that Elgar work is not at his best?

I've just been listening on i player,it was a good selection again today.
I am familiar that Rootham piece,nice to hear it played on the radio.
If anyone on here doesn't know the Bliss piano sonata it is well worth seeking out.

[BBMmk2]

On Naxos as well!! Peter Donohoe.

thanks for the tip, ER. I have sought it out, its next up.

When does the season start?
in fact why don't they start the proms when the footy finishes?

Wouldnt that be great tsd! I am going through some Howells chamber music at the moment.

[Aubade]

Um, quite a lot to list. …
Song: RVW, Warlock, Holst, F G Scott, Finzi, Butterworth, Rubbra, Sommervell, Stanford, Parry and many many more. Don't get me started!

I've enjoyed this thread and learnt much (e.g. Bush) but no mention of Roger Quilter, a prolific writer of lovely, uncomplicated song settings. Too rarely recorded.

Also, I only recently came across Edgar Bainton' "Miniature Suite" for piano.

A lovely way to start your birthday, and may I wish you a very happy one, BBM!
