My first post so I hope this counts!
I spotted this cd earlier and will order a copy.

I haven't checked Ebay yet.

As a 78 collector I've long known of Ethelbert due to Narsisus which I have always loved! and the rosary, but haven't heard any of Arthur's music before.

Of course 'Narcissus' is a nice little chestnut that's pretty well known. I actually got a CD recently that had a different piece by him. But should b eintregued to hear the rest of this.

and how could I forget that he also wrote Mighty Lak' a Rose?

I have a Genesis lp with one side featuring his piano music, but both the copies I have had have had inner groove distortion which was quite off-putting for me, so I will buy this download today! Some of his music reminds me of folks like Chaminade who I really like, a bit light and fluffy for some no doubt but pleasant.
