I also feel that Edward Downes is a better advocate for Georg Lloyd, than the composer himself.
The 7th is my favourite Lloyd symphony.



The ability to compose a really "good tune" is a wonderful blessing! British composers like Parry, Elgar and Holst gave us such marvellous "big tunes". In the slow movement of his Symphony No.7 George Lloyd gives us another. The Lento opens with the tune on the lower strings before the woodwind join in. The music is beautiful, still and moving but when the tune returns 9 minutes into the movement it is richer, broader and gloriously melodic. It is the sort of music I cannot listen to without wondering at Lloyd's gift and feeling quite emotional.
