Thanks for this link.

It is good to hear that these are in stereo sound. I wonder a little about the dates given as broadcasts made between September and October 1980. These performances were certainly broadcast then but they were part of the BBC's 60th birthday tribute to the composer. Whether some of these recordings had been made some years earlier I do not know. It is possible.

What strikes me however is that in 1980 Fricker's standing was so high and the BBC so "enlightened" and conscious of the quality of his music that they gave him several broadcast performances as a birthday tribute! A friend of mine, now retired from the BBC but the father of a conductor, told me recently that he doubts that many BBC producers of today have ever heard a note of Fricker's music
