I have a bunch I got this week from Amazon and HD Direct
Moyzes symphony series on Naxos, Florence Price Sym 1&4 on Naxos;
I got the Lyatoshynsky Sym no 3 (Chandos) .. so I'll give it a listen
Armas Jarnefelt Song of the Scarlet Flower on Ondine, Silvestrov's Touching the Memory on Brillant label, Jarnefelt: Orchestral Works on BIS,
and finally Michael Haydn Sym 11,12,15,16 on CPO
one thing that makes me mad, is that I'll order a brand new CD still in the wrapping, and the front is either cracked or the hinge is broken....even before I can open the celephane wrap....:(

I derive a real buzz from opening a box of newly delivered cds ;D
Today's consignment contains:
Sir Michael Tippett's Symphony in B flat and Symphonies Nos. 3 and 4 from Hyperion (I don't happen to like the Third and Fourth Symphonies but I wanted to hear the early symphony again) Ralph Vaughan Williams assorted works from Dutton including Martin Yates's orchestration of "The Blue Bird" and David Matthews's Norfolk March. Knudage Riisager's Violin Concerto (and the Etudes) from Dacapo. and a rather odd combination cd from Orfeo with Lovro von Matacic conducting Haydn's Symphony No.103, Schubert's Unfinished (which Orfeo bill as No.7 rather than No.8) and Gottfried von Einem's Bruckner Dialog. It is perhaps no great surprise that I bought ths disc for the von Einem ;D

Arnold on Brass (Conifer).I'm not usually that mad about Brass band music;but this one is great!! Although,the last track (The Padstow Lifeboat) began skipping last night! :( Some light scratches visible. After a clean;I'm hoping it will work! The way the band get all the sonorities,humour and atmosphere of Arnold's music is quite brilliant and fun! Arnold conducts the last track,with the "insistent offkey foghorn (based on the real one at Trevose in Cornwall" (Quote from Gramophone review,which describes it as a stunning aural experience"!) I love the jolly artwork too! Perhaps I should add some more Brass Band music to my collection?! Oh,and I'll have to hear his Symphony for Brass Instruments,won't I?
And.......YES,it played all the way,through! :) Some of the playing is quite thrilling! I love the whistling on one of the tracks! Superb! I wish my mother was still alive to hear this one. She liked Arnold. I remember my parents sitting down to watch a program about him,on BBC2,back in the eighties (or nineties?) expecting some jolly looking man;and being confronted,by,a close up,of this miserable,embittered face,wailing about the disdain of the musical establishment towards his achievement! Of course,my mother knew his music from the jollier,more upbeat works.
Holbrooke next!! :)

Dear cilgwyn Don't you think that Arnold's dance are highly enyojable? Particularly English and Scottish set. Best

Gerhard - Symphony No. 1: It's actually his 2nd symphony (the first one being the Symphony Homage to Pedrell ). A super interesting piece, Stravinskian with some Schonberg/Berg influences but highly approachable. There are many striking ideas, especially outstanding in the harmony and orchestration. The 2nd movement was the highlight: a bizarre nocturne of sorts with accurate effects.

me too. Its only 132 pages and consists of 3 movements. Interesting in that one of the instruments is a bongo (bonghi). Also the piano has a dominate role in the 2nd and 3rd movement.

I have started the import into Sibelius software to hear what the symphony sounds like. AFAIK it has never been recorded or even performed.
