    So this is great historic recording, as well as being a very beautiful one.
    Hiya EdgeleyRob, I've been looking some of your favourite English music choices and I amazed how your much your likes coincide with mine. Stanford violin concerto and Irish Rhapsody; Bridge orchestral works; Howells chasmber music ect. It's weird man.

    My kind postie brought a nice little pile of Bliss CD's on Thursday.Nice man.
    Am enjoying the Colour Symphony a great deal on first hearing.
    also enjoyed the "Conversations," which seem a lot of fun. Not decided about SQ1 yet, need another proper listen.

    Hi Stanfordian,I guess from your name you are a Stanford fan,me too (and Parry) and I really don't understand why they are so neglected.
    If you were to say you don't get Sibelius too,that would be seriously spooky.
