An incredible improvement over the Naxos performance!  Thanks to johan for sharing this with us all!

At a very reasonable cost.

Once again, a thousand thanks for the wonerful music.


BTW - since you seem to be making this threa the stanard stopping point for british music downloads, would it not be a good  idea to consoliate .(with the owners permission of course) the Broadcast of ebenezer Prout's 3rd and 4th Symphony into this list?

"The McEwen excerpts are also welcome,as would be a little more interest in that composer,from the cd companies!"

There are no less than 8 CD's of McEwens music available on the Chandos Label. See:

What A wonderful gift to all! I've been reading the Jeremey Dibble biography of Stanford and Actually hearing the music is a wonderful accompaniment.


Thanks again!

Hear-Hear!

Words do not even begin to express ones gratitude to all for this great gift of music.  To say that it has been an eye opening experience is an understatement.

Thanks  to all.

Albion:

An incredible treasure trove of music. My thanks for it all.

I would like to hear the remaining 4 of George Bristow's symphony. I know about  recording of the symphony in F# monir Op. 26 of 1858, but I would like to also hear his  other symphonies

Sinfonia in E flat Major Op. 10 (1848)
Juilien Sinfonia No. 2 in D Minor Op. 24 (1853-54)
Arcadian Symphonie in E minor Op. 50 (1872)
Niagara Symphony Op. 62 (1893)

I believe that the Juilien Symphony was recorded Was recorded on the Karl Krueger Music in America Series ( I seem to recall coming across it as a teenager in the library). Has any seen this recording or heard of any of recordings/broadcasts of any of the others?

"So far as I know there is no available recording of String Quartets 3-8"

The parts and a performance of the Stanford String Quartet #3 is available at the IMSLP  at

Enjoy.

Thank you Albion for this wonderful gift.

I had been plowing through the Potter dissertation and had just hit the section on the music when you posted. I must say, the ability to hear a selection of potters work that spans a substantial his creative life is quite the revelation.

Where I to have been Limited to the Classico recording of the F major symphony that was all that I was able to find, I would have said that Potter was more late classical composer a la Wilm than a romantic.  Hearing his later works for me confirms his status as a early romantic composer.

Thank you again for this.

Listening to the symphonies of Johann Wentzel Kalliwoda piqued my interest in the large number of overtures that he composed.  In looking around the web for availability I discovered that only 5 of them (#'s 2, 3, 12, 16, 17) seem to be available in any form.

Has anyone had any luck locating scores or recordings of any of the remaining overtures?
