2014 is 80 years since Elgar, Holst and Delius died.

Surely four composers died in 1934. Can't remember who.

Norman O'Neill (never heard a note of his music!)

They would be the French O'Neills then?

Here's a thing, Norman O'Neill conducting his own music in 1926.

Holst,Choral Symphony Op 41.

I'd second that ! Back in 1968 I was due to attend a performance of the Holst at the Maltings. As we drove into the car park we were stopped and told "You can't come in, it burnt down last night!

I've yet to hear a live performance, but thanks to Lyrita there are some splendid recordings of much of his lesser known work.
