I just got the symphonies of Sir Charles Hubert H. Parry on Chandos,
performed by the London Philharmonic, Matthias Bamert, conducting.

If you heard that Brahms had destroyed many of his own symphonies and
you were sad about it, then Parry and Stanford are for you.  The musical
language sounds to me very much in the same tradition.  Parry has hints
of Mendelssohn and Schumann, too.  This is wonderful rich romantic music.
I have taken to it instantly.

I haven't yet read the notes that come with this three cd set, but I can
guess that Parry was a strong influence on British Music.

Mimi Ezust, wallowing.
