    Oh yes, that was a famous moment!    And for many film composers, still quite true!

Yes, but they wouldn't have the face to declare so publicly. 

[AnotherSpin]

70+ minutes of unrelenting, intense momentum.

This will be my last post for awhile on this forum, but I just want to say I was in the Masur is dull as dishwater camp until I started to listen to some of his recordings with fresh ears. I'm proud to say that I have been thoroughly enjoying all of the recordings of his that I've been listening to over the past couple of days. Like the Mendelssohn Jungendsinfonien box set on Berlin Classics and now this Liszt box set on Warner (EMI). Seems as thought I've turned some kind of corner with Masur.

Interesting to hear this. My purchase of Masur's complete Beethoven symphonies on cd years before streaming, was one of the most disappointing I've ever made. I remember I put No.5 on first and had never heard such a dull version in my life, and have more or less completely avoided him since then. But attitudes change of course, so your enthusiasm is noted.
Do drop by again soon.

William Croft.

That is very interesting, thank you - must have a listen.  I've always felt rather sorry for Croft, for two reasons: he lived so much in the shadow of Handel (I believe he was chosen to write George II's coronation anthems before they decided Handel would do it better), and remains in the shadow of Shakespeare - Croft was also from Stratford, or nearby, but you will search in vain for any memorial there.  I've had the "William Croft at St Paul's" Hyperion disc for years and always enjoyed it.

And the recording venue, according to Discogs, was Eltham College, south-east London.

A first listen:

This is excellent! Does its comparative brevity help? It may, at that.

[Karl Henning]

A first listen:

My parakeet didn't much like this. Just reporting the fact. I like to note what music he likes and what music he, erm, fails to appreciate.
