This will make one board member very happy...

Thanks for this, what a splendid prospect - nearing the completion of the cycle, only number 12 and the Symphony in memoriam John Fussell (Symphony No 13) to go in commercial release! How wonderful that Lyrita has not gone completely silent...

Wonderful news indeed. I have to admit, I had almost given up on the remaining discs appearing, especially with the challenges of the current world situation.
Has anyone heard from Colin (Dundonnell) by the way? He seems to have been silent here for some time.

Greatly missed...

Do you think he's ill or dead?

Hopefully neither, although it is very worrying that his own website in which he rightly took such great pride (mainly devoted to the listing of political and diplomatic personnel, besides composers) has not been updated for some time either...

Many months after Colin departed AMF Maris relayed a private message between them wherein Colin indicated he was alive and well, - so his initial disappearance, at least, was certainly not the result of death or ill-health. 

He's still Forum Administrator/Moderator AFAIK, - working behind the scenes, it must be.

Anyone perusing his last post(s) here will see that me and him were having a scrap, Colin's final words being "on that basis, further discussion is pointless" - something he apparently meant on a larger scale than anticipated.

Not that I've ever felt guilty, or responsible for driving him off.

Colin was thin-skinned in the extreme and easily provoked (even without intention), often playing out his own inner dramas.

But maybe the causality was entirely different.

Greg, I am sorry to derail this thread even further from the very worthwhile topic of Daniel Jones Symphonies and their issue on Lyrita, but until I hear from Colin personally I will be loath to believe that he is absent merely as the result of a personal spat. Whatever his prey to "inner-dramas" is or was I have neither idea nor interest - none of us can be accused of being entirely equanimous. He was an energetic and knowledgeable contributor to this and other forums (God knows, I try my best to be, despite my own ill-health) and very unlikely to have vanished from our discussion without a word. Maris would indeed undoubtedly know if Colin is "working behind the scenes", but it is certainly not my place to ask him and nor would I intrude upon their private correspondence...

It would seem improbable, I agree, that a mere post (or posts) here could provoke such an outcome.  I only note the association.

More likely he's off on one of his "projects", with which he's known to be rather obsessive.

Assuming contact can be made, why doesn't someone just ask him what's going on (and say we'd all like to have him back)?

Well, it would be nice, I daresay, if some of us could have more personal contact than through forum posts. I have actually met in person one of my former correspondents in the UCF, and we maintain some contact to this day, even though I am no longer welcome in that "ahem" august body. I would actually like it if my friend would participate in this forum, although he may be an inactive member. I am referring to eschiss1, if you know to whom I refer.

Neither am I, for reasons which several members know...

Yes, Eric would be an asset. Incidentally, where's cilgywn?

Probably the same reason as me, unless you departed voluntarily. Alan got me booted out.

I became frankly tired of being treated like a naughty schoolboy because I did not subscribe to the obsessive idea of the "masterpiece", the restriction of discussion to so-called "Romantic" composers or the uninformed denigration of composers who did not "fit in" with the moderators' personal tastes or interests. I simply transferred the British and Irish Music Archive over here and continue to poke around the dusty hinterland of late Victorian and Edwardian British music...
