I fully appreciate the difficulties many have in purchasing "too many" cds (in marked contrast to a recent contributer to the Musicweb forum who told us that he had 60+ versions of a Bruckner symphony! I didn't even know there were as many in existence! I wonder what he does when he wants to listen to the symphony. Does he select a version he does not actually esteem ::) ???)
As I have said before ( ::)) I used to buy an average of ten cds each month. That is no longer the case. Part of the reason is because I could not afford to do so on what is a (admittedly reasonably generous) pension but also because, with well over 3,000 cds, I have filled an entire wall of my (admittedly huge) sitting room and have a (large) library in which three entire walls are covered in books. I also have (at least) one version of every orchestral work in the repertoire of the 19th and 20th centuries available on cd and within by "taste range" :)
So I buy new cds of previously unrecorded works and British symphonies are a (very obvious ;D) "must-buys" for me.
....but, as you know, I admire Fricker enormously and enthuse about his music (and that of other composers of his and earlier generations of 20th century British music). If others like the Fricker soundworld then they should invest in the cds if they possibly can. This will encourage Lyrita to keep going...if nothing else ;D
