    Awaiting delivery of Hyperion's set of Tippett piano sonatas & concerto played by Steven Osborne. Loved the all-too-infrequently-performed concerto ever since I heard David Wilde play it live many years ago. I suspect I should also have the Oggie/Colin Davis version as well, but was tempted by acquiring all MT's piano pieces in one hit, and the likelihood that the more modern Osborne/Brabbins would have superior sound. There's an invigorating spring-like quality to much of Tippett's music, e.g that 1st sonata, that I find very appealing.
    Not to mention the Fantasia on a theme of Handel, which I got to know as it was the coupling to The Vision of St Augustine on an RCA LP (in a box which included the score of The Vision, which I was lucky enough to get MT to autograph for me after a concert he conducted in Liverpool). The Fantasia didn't make it onto CD when The Vision came out as the coupling to The Rose Lake.

    Happy listening.

      The Rose Lake -- what a vital piece for an 88-year-old to have written ! 30-odd roto-toms in the percussion, if memory serves....

        Incredible performances!!!

        So far played 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6.

        Can't understand why these recordings aren't on the tip of every Sibelius fans' toungue

        I'd never heard of them until last week!!
        Where've you been Beefy, they've been in the catalogue for 60 years or so and have been my one's to beat since 1962! Hannikainen's 2 & 5 we're their biggest rivals at the time.

          Never heard of them before February 2015!

          I was quite young in 1962 and the release must have passed me by.

                            You make it sound like Bingo.

                            Actually, a piece devised / composed on random Bingo calls might work.
                            You can have that one, Gongers.



                            Book looks great by the way. Wouldnt mind a weekend at that place.
                            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.
