As usual (I hope ;D) I am more than happy to concede that my point/complaint about the price of these books was wrong-headed. My apologies to the author and publisher :-[

Incidentally, given Alistair's point about the symphony being "far from dead"-which is something about which I have frequently expressed pessimistic views-I was astonished by the list of symphonies given as an appendix to the cd booklet notes for the recent Lyrita release of the three Lipkin symphonies. The list gives those symphonies written in the same year as each of Lipkin's three and includes:

1965

Ian Balfour Symphony No.3
Kenneth V. Jones Sinfonia III
Clive Strutt Symphony No.2
Ernest Tomlinson Symphony '65
Raymond Warren Symphony No.1

1979

Rodney Newton Symphony No.9 'Sinfonia da camera'
Peter Tahourdin Symphony No.3

1986

Adrian Vernon Fish Symphony No.6 'Tavistock'
Clive Strutt Symphony No.4 'Kenosis'


....and I thought that I knew my British Symphonies :o
