That's good. My contribution to the Brian cause must take other forms. Still, great that people donate!

At least I know now not to expect the Brian 8/21/26 disc for a good few months yet.

Did we know Alex Walker is recording three more Brian symphonies for Naxos next month in Moscow?  His website says Nos. 8, 21 & 26.

I'd heard rumors...nice to know it's really happening  8)

Until Sarge's post, I thought 8/21/26 was . . . a date, and that you were being very dry.

For Havergalians, that is how long the wait seems  ;D

Havergalians AND Brianites?!! I hope this isn't some kind of break-a-way movement!
We'll have one faction wanting to record Faust and one wanting to record Turandot!
Who knows where this could lead?
We could end up like the SDP!!! >:(

Yes. Great to learn the SDP still exists.

From the latest Newsletter of the HBS:

"As we go to press, news has reached us that there will be a studio performance of the symphony no. 6, the Sinfonia Tragica at 14:30 on Tuesday October 11th at the BBC's Maida Vale studios in London, to be given by Martyn Brabbins and the BBC Symphony Orchestra. The programme will also feature Edmund Rubbra's 11th symphony and an as yet unspecified concerto."

Another performance of the wonderful Tragica!

Indeed. My family at one time lived in Maida Vale and I'd often go to performances at the BBC Studio there. My uncle worked for the Performing Rights Society so he got us tickets.

In 1988 I came over to hear Brian's Third performed there. So I know the place too!

Will you come over for this one Johan? I'm sure that my old friend the Stena Hollandica could bring you across from The Hook! If I'm not away I might well try to go, especially to hear the Rubbra as well as the 'Tragica'.

I don't think I'll be able to, this time.

Yes, I've just been on the site but I think that I might be away then. Probably HBS nutters have already purchased all the tickets anyway.  8)
