Oh, I am sorry! I just tried to open it myself and it worked quite well. Perhaps the download process has been irritated somehow?
I will wait if others have the same problem, then create a new zip-file and upload it again.

[Dundonnell]

Sorry to be a nuisance!

I open all the Zip Files I download using Windows Explorer. The McCabe Cello Concerto-opened with no problem, van Gilse's 4th Symphony just this moment-no problem. I have downloaded the Stevenson three times but get the same message each time. This is the first time that I have a a problem with a Zip File.

You are right, I downloaded it myself and it couldn't be opened. Am just about uploading a new file. Please, would you tell me if the same problem still occurs?

Gipps symphony 5:
-if- it was the premiere, which I am suspecting it was, then according to Halstead's "Ruth Gipps: anti-modernism, nationalism and difference in English music", page 38 (previewed by Google Books), the date (of the premiere, not of the broadcast) was 6 March 1983.  In 1986 she was made to retire from the LRO (compulsory retirement), so if the recording isn't the premiere, it's "sometime between 6 March 1983 and 1986" but I am still guessing the former - still, the London Repertory Orchestra may have a list of their 1980s concerts somewhere (if not necessarily online), or stored with a library.

Problem solved

Thank you very much for the download and your swift response in fixing the problem

[britishcomposer]

Ah, glad that it works now! Enjoy listening!

Cooper:
can anyone turn up anything about pianist Barbara Clamp? Musicsack.com, viaf, google searches turn up nothing about her (well, Google turns up about 4 things about her- which mostly point toward other references to this very same item sometimes on different sites, I'd like independent verification of name etc.. I don't count that- understandably or no?) Is there information about her in an undigitized source? I will go look soon, I'm just still a bit under the weather (excuses, excuses.)

The cantata Come, my way, my truth, my life by Daniel Jones (as performed under Charles Groves at the 1987 Swansea Festival) is now in Folder 7.

This is a choral work which I had never heard of before.

I knew that Jones had written the Cantata "The Country Beyond the Stars"(1958) (available on a Lyrita cd, coupled with the Sixth and Ninth Symphonies), the Oratorio "St. Peter"(1962) and the Cantata "Hear the Voice of the Ancient Bard"(1977)-both of these I have on tape-  plus another choral work from 1971 called "The Witnesses" for chorus and orchestra but this was a new one on me

Thanks for the upload

Would it be possible for you to upload these pieces at some point? I am quite a Jones fan and I do have recordings of all his 13 symphonies (I don't know whether anybody plans to upload the remaining ones that were not released commercially – if not I can certainly provide them) but not these pieces, which would interest me a lot.

I'm sure they'll appear in due course!

Would be very happy to hear some more Jones symphonies, Holger, I am missing 1-3, 5, and everything after 9! Thanks.

Great news that you have other Daniel Jones symphonies - 2 and 12 are already in the BMB archive; 4, 6, 7, 8 and 9 are commercially available and I think that Dundonnell has numbers 3 and 10 and intends to upload them shortly, so it would be wonderful if you could possibly supply numbers 1, 5, 11 and 13. This collaborative effort would at last make a complete cycle available.

[Holger]

OK, I will upload the four Jones symphonies in question in the next days. I think I should get round to this until the weekend (as I am currently doing some work on my CD collection anyway).

It is certainly my intention to upload 'St. Peter' and 'Hear the Voice of the Ancient Bard' plus a very great deal more British music as soon as I can digitise it all
I am currently going through all my taped British music to check that tapes I have not been able to listen to for 30 years are still ok. So far 99% are
These works should be uploaded next month some time

You have ALL 13 Jones symphonies

Oh JOY   Albion has already commented and I join in his and others' excitement

Great news in Jones Country!
