A cd of the symphonies of Derek Bourgeois would be very useful. None of his orchestral music is available on cd,as far as I know. His music seems to be highly regarded by some members here,and the 'Wine' symphony is such a great idea. It's like the score is just sitting there,waiting to be recorded! Did Richard Itter record any of his music,I wonder? Or perhaps he's a composer he didn't like? A bit like the mysterious reluctance of bis to record a Rosenberg cycle,when he is so obviously highly regarded by some music lovers on these forums (the GMG and here). I wouldn't know,as I haven't heard a note of his music. I'm just using him as an obvious example.
