Well, we can have a computer and a good notation software, but not an own orchestra... That's the problem 
I tried to transcribe the entire symphony with a better orchestral sound (with the finale 2011)... but, it's a hard long work... and, after all, this isn't a real orchestra. So, better to wait. I'm sure this symphony will be recorded soon.   

actually it's an mp3 file, not a midi. Of course, it's not a real interpretation, but so far, it's the only form to know this work   

I think you can listen a digital mp3 recording of the symphony in the Milford Trust website. The first movement is pretty good.

Well, he comitted suicide for a number of reasons... He had an intense depression since the dead of his son (he even received electroshock therapy). But in my opinion, the main reason was the decision of the OUP to remove his music from their catalogue (sadly paradoxical... his father was the head of this editorial for decades). Furthermore, Finzi never told him about his illness.... the surprise left him devastated. 

Great news!!!! 
I'll write to Peter for more details. Some time ago, he told me about the plans to record the Symphony and The Darkhling Trush with the RSNO or the Bournemouth Symphony (by the way, for the anniversary in 2009, I wrote to Dutton, Chandos, Naxos, Hyperion and Toccata about Milford, but I never received any answer). It'd be fantastic to listen these music of this neglected master... and perhaps, his operas, masques and oratorios later...

By the way, I uploaded some of his works (conducted by Christopher Finzi) in the Broadcasts section. Very recommendable           

Anything by Robin Milford friends?
