Following the splendid news about the recent recording for Toccata of William Wordsworth's Symphonies Nos. 4 and 8, I can now reveal that the Royal Scottish National Orchestra under Rory Macdonald have recorded-
THOMAS WILSON (1927-2001)
Symphony No.3 (1979) Symphony No.4 "Passeleth Tapestry" (1988) Carillon for orchestra (1990)
for Linn Records.
News of four previously unrecorded British symphonies!! Happy Days :)

Excellent news! I wonder who's paying for them? Now, if we could get the remainder of Arthur Butterworths paid some attention, that would a be job well done...

I am inclined to suspect (and this may or may not be informed speculation) that the recording has been made with generous financial support from a friend or friends of the late composer.
Unlike Iain Hamilton- who although a Scot was educated, lived and worked in London and in North Carolina- or Wordsworth who was a Englishman who chose to live in the Highlands and was also excessively diffident about his own music- Wilson was very much a fixture of the West of Scotland music scene for decades. As such he made many friends. Some of those were well-known in Glasgow musical circles and were/are not without the personal financial resources to......etc etc etc

These are great news! I am very much looking forward to this CD, in particular for the Fifth, which is a great work distinguished by some kind of autumnal beauty.
