What British, commonwealth, or similar 'neglected' composer are you listening to?

[Roehre]

great CD. However, haven't bought it yet, as I've got the concerto on a Lyrita CD, and the Rhapsody on a Chandos one (coupled with Sym 7). But it IS on my list

BBCSSO and Andrew Manze,orchestra and conductor of the moment,champions of British music !

I've only just noticed this post. Boult was a friend of Butterworth. They met at Oxford, where Boult took over the presidency of the University Music Society from Butterworth. Boult sang (yes, sang) the second performance of the Shropshire Lad songs, and he gave the first performance of The Banks of Green Willow in his own first concert with a professional orchestra. He recorded the orchestral rhapsody A Shropshire Lad in his second recording session, in 1920.

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.

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.

I can certainly recommend this TS,the Piano Concerto especially is tremendous,a monster!
