Having mentioned Bate in a Hyperion RPC thread, I would encourage members to explore this "lost" composer. There is a very good BBC documentary here -
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m000dxyqand several excellent recordings of major works on the Dutton Epoch label:
Sinfonietta No.1, Op.22 (1938) - CDLX 7282
Piano Concerto No.2, Op. 28 (1940) - CDLX 7282
Symphony No.3, Op.29 (1940) - CDLX 7239
Viola Concerto, Op.46 (1944-46) - CDLX 7216
Symphony No.4 (1954-55) - CDLX 7255
:)
I enjoyed listening to this but was disappointed there was no way to know what some of the music was. I especially liked the chamber music but don't have any information to track it down to hear the rest of it.
