    That's very kind, Roehr. That I have special feelings for Frank Bridge's music must be pretty obvious! Thanks.

      It certainly is! Thank you, S_A. There's plenty for me to consider there.

          Resuscitating this old thread I have a limited acquaintance with his music but I do find what I have heard compelling . His Oration for example strikes me as a very fine and intensely moving work . An old HMV Greensleeves record with Charles Groves conducting I still treasure for its The Sea and Enter Spring .

          Any other recommended works and recordings ?

            There is a Willow Grows Aslant a Brook is a haunting tone poem of nine minutes duration. A poignant oboe theme woven to a backdrop of harp glissandi cloaks the plunge of the stricken maiden in starkly memorable garb. A sombre cello solo section leads a ghostly cortege, before the piece returns to silence.

            Bournemouth Sinfonietta/ Norman del Mar on Chandos.

              Thanks Sir Velo with del Mar conducting it sounds well worth investigating.

                Whereas to me it always conjures up the flatlands of the Thames estuary on a dull, windless November day.

                  This http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bridge-Orche...=bridge+hickox will give you all Bridge's orchestral, concertante and vocal/orchestral music, or very near it. Something of a bargain, and - hurrah! - it seems to reproduce all the notes and sung texts from the single-disc issues.
                  I keep hitting the Escape key, but I'm still here!
