Jeffrey kindly sent me an BBC review magazine, with an interview with Ruth Gipps in it, and attached to that magazine was an CD, with the above composition that made me sit upright, for it is quite different as compared to the original, and amazingly creatively done. I enjoyed it immensely, and will listen soon again to amongst the rest to The Ballet of the unhatched Chicks
Thank you Jeffrey for this gesture, I appreciate it very much.

The coupling of Rachmaninov's The Bells is also a fine and enjoyable performance.  All round another top notch BBC Music Magazine disc showcasing the depth of talent of the BBC orchestras (and the amazing recorded archive as well!)

Giving them a spin now. Thank you.

Kurt Graunke: Symphony No 4 - Symphonie-Orchester Graunke conducted by the composer, No 7 wasn't available on Spotify so I listened to No 4 instead. If I had heard this 'blind' I would have guessed 'German, mid-20h century' but nothing else. There is a hint of Mahler10 but as the work progressed I was more reminded of Franz Schmidt. The work held my attention (though it is less than 15 mins) and I certainly wouldn't day it was 'bad' but neither am I keen to search out more Graunke.

Good morning!

Birtwistle - The Shadow Of Night. Slowly rolling waves of gloom for large orchestra including five percussionists.

Hi Biffo

Here is the Spotify link to Graunke #7. Not that I have heard it yet, either...

What are the other two works like Steve?  Been ages since I've listened to any of his music (and I can't even recall what it was!).

Pleased to have been able to do you a good turn

They're similarly funereal; it's a very consistent album.
