Can that be confirmed?

Music Heritage Society LP 3586 has an identical coupling to the 1975 Lyrita LP (SRCS79) - the Organ Concerto under Boult and the Piano Concerto No.3 under Dommett: they were effectively the same release licensed to different companies in the UK and the US, now coupled on CD with the Sonata for Two Pianos. I don't have the necessary authorisation to remove a download post, but this will have to be done by either Mark or Alan as the Lyrita disc (SRCD280) is still available.

I have removed the posting. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks, Frank - no harm done.



It's easy to overlook in cases like this where the same recording was originally and confusingly available simultaneously on two completely independent labels.

[Dundonnell]

Absolutely

No inconvenience at all   Just keeping us all on "the straight and narrow"

Arthur Butterworth - Viola Concerto, Op.82 (1992)

As some members possibly might not be able to play .ape files (I can't) I have converted the broadcast to .mp3 as an alternative and put a copy in the archive.

Many thanks, Albion.... the download in ape format was so big that I had to give up.

You're very welcome. The original file took an hour and a quarter to download on a kbps trickle ...



... and then I discovered that my usual format-converter didn't handle .ape ...



... so I downloaded another free one which did.

I am just listening myself through the Daniel Jones uploads. Today it's the Overture 'Ieunectid', kindly uploaded by Holger. I tried to find out what 'Ieunectid' may mean and it seems that this is a spelling mistake. I suppose the piece is called 'Ieuenctid' which means 'youth'.

Quite, right! The catalogue entry was correct, but the file title wasn't - this is now corrected.

I have added one of the highlights of last year's Proms season to the archive -

Arnold Bax - Symphony No.2 in E minor and C (1924-26)

This was the symphony's first appearance at the Proms, played by the Royal Philharmonic under Andrew Litton.

Albion - you surely aren't counting Bax as an "unsung composer"?  ( )

When one of his finest symphonies has had to wait 80 years for a Proms outing ...



... I think I probably am.

[Jimfin]

There are certainly degrees of "unsungness". Bax is hardly frequently programmed, even if he is fairly well represented in the recording catalogues. Only one recording of the violin concerto, I believe. Of course that's nothing to Goring Thomas or Prout. Bax certainly deserves to be far more sung than he is.

[suffolkcoastal]

Bax is definitely 'unsung'. His symphonies are rarities in the concert hall and on R3 these days. The 2nd which finally got a Proms airing last year is a masterpiece IMO as are the 3rd & 6th. All we seem to get these days are occasional airings of Tintagel, The Garden of Fand or Mediterranean. I don't believe his chamber or piano music fairs any better.
