Three Choirs Festival 2021

[Albion]

Clearly an impressive piece has been rediscovered, which only makes me wish even more for a broadcast: better keep an eye on the R3 schedule...

Alas, an email enquiry to the Three Choirs has produced the following response:

Dear John,

I’m afraid we couldn’t interest the BBC in any of this year’s concerts.

The Philharmonia are recording their performances this week, but there are no definite plans to release any of it.

All best, Alexis

Damn and blast them!  >:( :'( Thanks for emailing and for letting us know the answer. Perhaps an email to the Philharmonia encouraging them to release at least the Solomn Prelude, even as just as a download might have some effect? Whaddaya think?

Aren't reviews amazing - this one gives a much more positive response to both the Elgar and the Jackson!

Critics, eh?

A review of Tuesday's concert has appeared in the on-line version of today's Guardian. Although the report concentrates on Gabriel Jackson's The World Imagined, the headline itself reads, "A new commission from Gabriel Jackson came across vividly in the cathedral acoustic, in august company alongside a rare revived piece by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor." It's rewarding to know that the (anonymous) reviewer regards SC-T' s company as 'august'! And the review does conclude: "This festival commission puts Jackson in august company. At Worcester, in 1899, the young Samuel Coleridge-Taylor conducted the premiere of his Solemn Prelude while Edward Elgar conducted his Enigma Variations in that same concert. Pairing the two pieces again – only the Coleridge-Taylor’s second outing – conductor David Hill ensured a vibrant sense of occasion and history revisited".
