I had that Lyrita CD for a while (was it orchestral music? I thought
it was chamber music) but didn't care much for it and eventually sold
it. I remember almost nothing about it. For a while, when it was hard
to get Lyrita LPs, that Hurlstone disc seemed to be readily available
at Berkshire and other places.
I have the sheet music to a bassoon work he wrote (a sonata, I believe).
I played with it a bit on trombone, but it didn't do much for me.
I'm afraid I can't contribute much more than that.
