Just in reference to my observation earlier that during the last few years (say 5+ or so) a very great number of British symphonies have become available either on cd for the first time or through downloads of broadcast performances...
At a rough count the number I have come up with, ranging from Arnell to Bate to Alan Bush to Arthur Butterworth, and on through Cooke, Fricker, Hamilton, Hoddinott, Daniel Jones, Malcolm Lipkin, McCabe, John Veale to William Wordsworth is 56.
That is worth repeating: 56 British symphonies, previously unheard (at least by me ;D) now on cd or in radio broadcasts uploaded for others by generous individuals who had recorded these broadcasts. And all over the last half decade.
If anyone had told me ten years or so ago that this would be the situation I would have responded-"dream on!!"
It makes the current missing number of around ten symphonies seem paltry in comparison.
I am just so happy that I have lived long enough to enjoy the bounty :)
