Well, I don't want to castigate anyone, but the unrecorded extant symphonies of Holbrooke are: Dramatic Choral Symphony, Homage (sic) to E.A. Poe (unnumbered, but effectively No. 1) Symphony No. 1 "Les Hommages" (a version for very large orchestra of the earlier Bohemian Suite for strings - the difference lies only in the instrumentation) Symphony No. 2 "Apollo and the Seaman" Symphony No. 5 "Wild Wales", for brass band Symphony No. 6 "Old England", for military band Symphony No. 7 "Al Aaraaf", for strings (an arrangement of the String Sextet, Op. 43) Symphony No. 8, "Dance Symphony" for piano and orchestra (also known as Piano Concerto No. 3, and really a piano concerto - the full score is missing; only the two piano score exists, but I am hoping to interest someone in orchestrating it)
So there we are. Plenty to be going on with!
I would also like to see Stanley Wilson's two symphonies recorded: A Skye Symphony (a Carnegie Medal winner, score & parts published Stainer & Bell) Symphony No. 2 for chorus and orchestra (unpublished; MS at RCM)
