discs one to four of this last night and this morning - very good! (disc five is a selection of the June 1958 and Jan/Feb 1960 Scriabin, of which there's more on two Denon single and double disc sets)

Yesterday morning:

Just the Howells SQ off the first, the Gurney orchestral pieces off the second and all of the third. Whilst ambling here:

Chosen Hill in Gloucestershire - a place much loved by Howells and Gurney before WWI. They'd be a bit shocked today - reservoirs on the top and the long views full of housing estates and light industry. Marvellous views of the Cotswolds, Malverns and distant Welsh mountains. Nearly 50 years ago I went to school for 6 months in the little village pictured - don't recall climbing the hill; certainly hadn't a clue who Howells or Gurney were. 

The Howells quartet is a gem; the Gurney orchestral pieces reconstructions - faintly folky but a bit Edwardian in feel - much prefer the songs with just piano. 

Part of an ongoing tour of sites associated with English cowpat composers. 

Today:
