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".

All the more reason why Coleridge-Taylor's Solemn Prelude should be made available either from this performance or from a subsequent recording...

Important music festivals, etc., should be recorded for broadcast de rigueur. No doubt the BBC is basking in the prospect of a post-lockdown Proms season...



...and simply can't be ars*d with such provincial doings. The Metrolopis is everything!

BAH!!!

I'm sure that's correct. What a bunch of 'Fanny's doughnuts' they are.

The Culture Committee of the BBC circa 2021...



...nope, no discernible brain-activity taking place. Still, yummy!

I've just discovered that a snippet of SC-T's Solemn Prelude was played on BBC Radio 3's "In Tune" on 23 July. There's not enough of a sample to make any type of qualitative judgments but just a few bars of harmony and orchestration leave one in no doubt about who composed this! It can be found here https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m000y1cd 1 hour 27 minutes in but be quick because it will vanish soon.

It must be from the Philharmonia's own recording as the BBC couldn't be bothered to turn up for this landmark performance. I'm surprised they had the audacity to broadcast even a snippet...

Yes, it was. Is there still no response to your enquiry about whether the Philharmonia might release it as a download?

You never know, hopefully more people will pester them to release their recording in whatever format.

Just in case we never hear it again, I've uploaded an mp3 of this tantalising excerpt (recorded in rehearsal) to BIMA.

Ugh! Far worse than cats, think this one's from Cheshire...
