Some months ago, there was a request posted by William Vann and the English Song Festival for funding for a proposed Chandos recording of Parry's early work, Prometheus Unbound. It now seems that this was successful, as it is listed as forthcoming from Chandos in September.

Apparently the first modern recording/performance since a radio broadcast conducted by Vernon Handley, and the cast looks pretty starry, and William Vann is of course a known Parry expert from his recording of Judith, also for Chandos.

Forthcoming in August from Rumon Gamba on Chandos:
