Yes...the reasons given for the abrupt curtailment of the two Chandos series do make sense. It is however still sad that Chandos did not get Rumon Gamba, who had conducted the two Williamson discs, to record more with another orchestra and equally sad that they have not used him or any number of other young and upcoming conductors to tackle more Bennett. Instead they are using Andrew Davis to re-record Elgar, Delius and Holst-with mixed results (his Delius has certainly attracted rave reviews) and Edward Gardner to record mainstream or fairly mainstream repertoire.
