I was talking about the Stanford Symphony # 4.  I have the set of seven
symphonies conducted by Vernon Handley with the Ulster Orchestra on
Chandos, and I have not compared these performances with any other.  I've
been whistling parts of the fourth all day now.  Reminds me of the Brahms
Liebeslieder Waltzes in places, then Mendelssohn, then back to Brahms
Serenades.  Charming music.
