I would also add Payne's realization of Elgar's 3rd. Not a masterpiece on the level of Bruckner 9 or Mahler 10, but a work I've come to like very much, nonetheless.
Me too. I also greatly enjoyed Anthony Payne’s book
Elgar’s Third Symphony: The Story of the Reconstruction and the NMC CD. Robert Walker’s
Piano Concerto on Elgar’s fragments, released by Dutton, gives us a context to hear Elgar’s sketches and what might have been.
I might pick up the Dutton VW disc. I am curious about the
Christmas Overture (1934). I greatly enjoy the
Fantasia on Christmas Carols and
On Christmas Night - basically because I like a Christmas music and VW arranges it so well - and I am guessing we are looking at an orchestration of some carols. It would be great if Dutton posted extracts of their CDs to listen to which might remove hesitation on my part in picking up any of the latest batch.
