You're right, John, they're on the way -  but apparently cannot yet be ordered 

[albion]

Always nice to see pretty pictures, though!

[Dundonnell]

November/December are going to be expensive months for cd purchases: probably 5 of these Dutton releases, the Toccata HB release, the 'Gothic' from Hyperion, the Mathias/RVW piano concertos from Somm for British music alone etc etc

Oh well, Christmas is coming up

(Btw just listened to Fricker's huge Oratorio "The Vision of Judgment": great stuff!)

Ditto, plus Hyperion's McEwen Viola Concerto ...

Ooh, you are a tease!

[Gareth Vaughan]

Yes, I've always wanted to hear that piece.

All in all, I think one of Dutton's finest crops yet. I for one can't wait for them to be available.

Including Ina Boyle's Tone Poem "The Magic Harp"

She was being discussed on here only a couple of days ago

A bit of a mixed bag this one -

Ferdinand Hérold - Overture: Zampa (1831)
Byron Brooke - Gee Whizz! (1931)
Percy Whitlock - Carillon for organ & orchestra (1932)
Cecil White - A Sierra Melody (1931)
Dame Ethel Smyth - The Boatswain's Mate: Overture (1914)
Howard Flynn - Clatter of the Clogs: A Novelty Fox-Trot (1930)
Sir Landon Ronald - In an Eastern Garden (No.2 from The Garden of Allah) (1920)
Armstrong Gibbs - The Betrothal Ballet Music op.34 (1921)
Montague Birch - Dance of the Nymphs
Ina Boyle - The Magic Harp (1919)
Montague Birch - Intermezzo (Pizzicati) (1913)
Ludwig Pleier - Karlsbad's Dolls' Dance (Karlsbader Puppentanz): Characteristic Piece (1903)
Rutland Boughton - The Immortal Hour – Love Duet for orchestra (1913 arr 1924)

Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra
Ronald Corp (conductor)

- but I'll certainly be getting it primarily for the Whitlock, Smyth, Ronald, Gibbs, Boyle and Boughton.

Oh man, that disc looks like a great collection of light music....though Zampa? Really? What the heck is it doing with the rest of those?

I know - it struck me as a bit out of place in the programme, but presumably it was frequently played by Godfrey at Bournemouth to loud and prolonged applause, and it really is a cracking overture (once popular in the studio, now very rarely recorded).

[Gareth Vaughan]

Exactly. This is a tribute to Dan Godfrey and his orchestra. And we must remember that concerts at that time (not just in England) were far more eclectic than they are now.  It would not be thought unusual to begin with a piece by a contemporary composer, then a Mozart Violin Concerto, then a group of drawing-room ballads with piano accompaniment; INTERVAL, followed by a Beethoven overture; an opera aria or two; then some inconsequential light music.

Replace the 'sung' names with 'unsung' ones and you pretty much replicate my evening listening schedule - though I wouldn't call Ziehrer inconsequential. The 'interval' usually consists of a quick dash to Tesco when the first bottle of wine has 'evaporated' mysteriously.

Just click , which is just what I am doing right now.
