My word, that must be a labour of love. It takes long enough to prepare a piece for a normal-sized orchestra so the number of hours Martin Walsh must have spent to get even this far with such a garganutan score is hard to grasp. I do hope he finishes it, not only for itself but also so that it can be used in some way to promote a performance and recording of the piece.

Indeed! It's hard to think of a more challenging project: personally, I would not know where to begin. Fully professional commercial recordings of Apollo and the Seaman, The Bells (the 1978 John Poole broadcast is in the British and Irish Music Archive) and Queen Mab (all in full score at IMSLP) should have been undertaken years ago and would put Holbrooke's legacy in quite a different light. As it is, there are the invaluable discs from CPO, Dutton and Hyperion to be going on with...

"A piece is worth your attention, and is itself for you praiseworthy, if it makes you feel you have not wasted your time over it." (Sydney Grew, 1922)
