I can't vouch for that particular recording but my own experience is that
Hickox is one of the best when it comes to English repetoire. This was a
topic fairly recently on this list, I know because I started the thread.
I think what you are describing is a budget line of EMI recordings that are
available only in HMV stores. Enjoy - I saw many of these when I was last
in the UK. HMVs are rare in the States and what stores we have don't carry
near as many recordings from this series as I saw in England. I envy the
selection you Brits have but not your prices.
