I'm still trying to acquire a taste for him; despite repeated listenings, none of his music has really "grabbed me" yet, including the Enigma Variations, but I am not giving up on him just yet! What's your take on him? So far, in my experience, the same goes for Arthur Bliss. However, I am very fond of many of Ralph Vaughan Williams' symphonies and his Fantasia On a Theme Of Thomas Tallis.

After much internal debate, I finally "pulled the trigger" on this 37 CD Box-Set of Haydn's Complete Symphonies with Dennis Russell Davies and the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra from Amazon:
. I figure for only 25 dollars this is not a bad buy, and I really want to become more conversant with Papa's symphonic output.

Hello - new poster !
Most recent acquisition: Andre Caplet - Le Miroir de Jesus....beautiful choral music from 1920's France, on the Marco Polo label.
(Almost all my purchases are 'pre-owned', so some may well be long out of print !) Clive.

I am surprised that Steve did not respond to your invitation teddy after all it is orchestral :grin: Now teddy if you want the true Elgar try the Cello concerto played by Jacqueline Du Pre this Youtube link is of the LPO and Barenboim I think they were married at the time, she made her name with this concerto, unfortunately she died from MS at a very early age her best performance of this piece is with the LPO and Sir John Barbirolli c.1965.
If you were able to appreciate the above and feel a bit more bold try Elgars Violin concerto by Nigel Kennedy

Actually, Colin, I did and just forgot to post about it. Alas, Mr.Elgar still remains --at least for me--a treasure waiting to be discovered, I guess. :banghead:

Patrick Hawes - 'Angel'.
Hawes is an English composer, by no means only of choral works (as can be seen on his website), but those are what I prefer of his - previously purchased the Lazarus Requiem.
Video clips on the website & on You Tube.
