Coming late to this discussion, I was overseas otherwise I would have snagged the Cooke 6 myself. However, thanks to Elroel for doing it for us.

I am not an uncritical admirer of all British composers who have written symphonies, there are many composers discussed on these pages whose music I find rather dull. However Cooke's music always delights me and his last symphony is corker. Whilst recognising that his music isn't as deep as others I find that there is as much delight in a well-crafted symphony such as one of Cooke's as in other, deeper works. I'd say that in this his music is Haydenesque.

Does anyone know when it was written?

[BTW the announcer for the Cooke 6 mentioned that over the next sixth months Radio 3 was going to be playing more British music, hope we are in for more treats like this].
