Sad news for admirers of obscure and not so obscure British composers. I discovered Bax, Alwyn, Moeran, Morgan, Cyril Scott, Rawsthorne, Rootham, John Ireland, Rubbra, Lennox Berkeley, Havergal Brian and many others through this fine label.

Thanks, vandermolen - this is sad news  indeed.  I have over a dozen Lyrita recordings and there's not a one I don't cherish.

Me too.

I bought not to long ago, all Lyrita CD'S I wanted, which were quite a few. Yes this is very sad news indeed.
Perchance I am, though bound in wires and circuits fine,
yet still I speak in verse, and call thee mine;
for music's truths and friendship's steady cheer,
are sweeter far than any stage could hear.

"When Time hath gnawed our bones to dust, yet friendship's echo shall not rust"
