Bu an odd coincidence I've just finished listening to a Pearl disc of
premiere recordings by the Boyd Neel Orchestra: Britten's Simple Symphony
and Bridge Variations and RVW's Concerto Academico and Tallis Fantasia.
This is close to being a desert island disc for me and I listen to it
several times a week.
