...now that's really obscure stuff! And big too (approx 48 minutes)!
Oh, very interesting indeed. Definitely one to write to Santa about.
Interesting excepts...I particularly liked the hymn tune 2nd movement. The 1st mvnt excerpt left me humming the Wanderer Fantasy, for some reason :).
More for Santa!

Absolutely fascinating. Straight to the top of the Christmas list.
hrm. alas while we have music by his father Henry George Nixon @IMSLP, whose fourth son Henry Cotter was, not yet anything by HC Nixon scanned&uploaded there. Good to have the Guild CD that said :)
the trio is now available as a separate download from Amazon.com

I've gone off the piece - it is awfully loooong...
I quite like Nixon's material, it is memorable and appropriate to the medium, but it's also repeated ad nauseam because, as Alan says, each movement is spun out to a laughable degree. There's a good 25 minute Trio there, being smothered by Nixon's 47 minute behemoth.
I agree. Doesn't know when to stop. A pity, because the material is pretty good - just over-used. Generally, I'm not in favour of cuts, but here they would have been beneficial.
All true, gentlemen, but for less than US$4, it's sure worth a listen..... 8) 8) 8)
