Had this recording on LP back in the early 80s (much better cover than the CD reissue!). It's usually the fifth and eighth parts that stand out but yesterday the third for solo clarinet really caught my ear. I'm sure I can hear allusions to the cor anglais theme from Act III of Tristan in the A section and, possibly, Albrecht's 'Hagen, mein Sohn' from Gotterdammerung. Probably my fevered imagination. Superb piece using the four instruments in such different ways from section to section.

Disc 8 - piano music - from the Eisler. Also a CD-r with the two Schoenberg chamber symphonies by different, ever so darling ensembles.

Another of Bridge's Great War related pieces here - the Cello Sonata. A favourite cover as well.

Fine and interesting.

First is a lovely piece rather like Britten's 'Spring Symphony' with added John Adams; London Symphony from the RVW. Never noticed the similarity between the Largo and the corresponding movement in the Dvorak New World before.
