The Piano Concerto disk on Marco Polo is very good too.

I also came across this -

You must have a very good opinion of yourself to write a symphony - John Ireland.

I opened the door people rushed through and I was left holding the knob - Bo Diddley.

Does anyone know if the entire Bernard Stevens Symphony No. 1 referenced here is commercially available as recorded by Hickox/Chandos?

I'm only aware of the Edward Downes version.
"Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm" (Churchill).

'The test of a work of art is, in the end, our affection for it, not our ability to explain why it is good' (Stanley Kubrick).
