I am a fan of British song and this is one of my favorite discs of any kind. Truly, a recording classic.

Is the SF Sym/MTT Beethoven recording SACD or just redbook CD?

Something a bit spiky - Prokofiev's 4th piano concerto performed by Beroff. Love the french performing russian composers:

Just discovered this guy. Good stuff! Like a cross between Elgar and Debussy. I don't understand why this guy was totally forgotten. Picked up Symphonies 1-5 used on Amazon for nothing.

Bax is still appreciated in the UK. I don't recall seeing any of his works on U.S. concert programs. IMHO, he had trouble maintaining symphonic arguments, but I still love his music. Personal favorites: tone-poems Tintagel & The Garden of Fand, and Syms 4 & 6.

heh heh -if you liked those Jim, then you'll probably like last nights oldies too.

My music collection is heavily dominated by vinyl, so the 'oldies' dominate in this more traditional core repertoire. That said, the oldies often have as much to say, if not more, than the newbies, IM semi-wrinkled O

I'm a Bax fan too, although I have to agree with Calypte - I don't remember seeing anything of his programmed for the longest time (Toronto,Canada). David Lloyd-Jones did a nice Bax series on Naxos with the Scottish National a few years ago, including the tone poems if you're looking for further recent recordings.
