If anyone thinks that just because I have acquired Peter Racine Fricker's Symphony No.3 from this site and am about to launch his Symphonies Nos. 4 and 5 here as well that I am any less likely to be seeking/hoping/praying for a company to record these works they are very much mistaken ;D ;D

Absolutely, Colin. Whilst it is undoubtedly valuable to have the chance to hear John Poole's 1978 recording of Holbrooke's The Bells, I don't think that anybody is going to pretend that this is preferable to (or any substitute for) a first-class modern studio recording, or that Stanley Bate's own performance of his Piano Concerto No.2 is in any way a threat to the prospects of the hotly-anticipated Dutton release.

How about William 'Billy' REED's own Violin Concerto- must be worth a listen. surely?

This thread dates back to the period before the change in UC's remit when the discussion of non-Romantic music was permitted, so it is no longer appropriate to post here. Please see the new thread on Reed:
