There seems to have been a positive explosion of posts over the last few hours expressing the joy of members at the prospect of new recordings of music by Holbrooke, Rabaud, Hofmann, Sgambati :)

Can I say how pleased I am that others are so happy ;D

Mayhap all this music will turn out to be wonderful.......I certainly hope so :)

......(but) you know where I stand on this issue. All I ever ask is balance. Let us have this sort of music by all means......but a dose of slightly "tougher" stuff would not go amiss too.

Sgambati ???   Ok.....but Malipiero too please :)

Holbrooke......yes....but what about some...(you know who I mean by now ;D)

Yes, Colin, I see your point and sympathize with you, knowing you to be a lover of accessible (and sometimes not!) 20th century symphonism :). To be honest, I am slightly more conservative musically than you (late-romantic music is my speciality), but, yes, I too would like to see more of a balance (meaning no less romantic CDs, but more modern CDs in addition). We'll just have to see what the future brings...

I was beginning to think that I had entered a time-warp and was back in you know where ;D ;D

Just don't mention William Alwyn. He's far too progressive (apparently)! :o

Don't spend too much time reading UC posts. You could be done for 'loitering with intent! ;D

Yes, I was rather schocked about Alwyn being out of the remit of the forum :o! A member presents a heartwarming story about an unsung piece (Alwyn's beautiful and fully tonal "Lyra Angelica" in this case) being warmly received by an audience only to be put down by a moderator >:(!

Cilgwyn's remark about wasting time reading old UC threads doesn't apply to me ;D ;D

Alwyn is too progressive ??? ::) ::) ::)

Sorry....I think I may be going insane ;D
