I wrote of Hurlstone:

Roger Hecht recalled:

Occasionally, the old LP and CD catalogues cluttering one of my
bookshelves come in handy and on this occasion show that my memory and
Roger's are still functioning well.  The Lyrita CD of orchestral music
contained The Magic Mirror Suite, Variations on a Hungarian Air and
Variations on an Original Theme.  The CD Roger mentioned presumably
contains at least a piano quartet and a piano trio which once shared a
Lyrita LP.  The piano concerto LP also contained his Fantasy Variations
on a Swedish Air for piano and orchestra.  There have also been recordings
of Four Characteristic Pieces for clarinet and piano, the bassoon sonata
and a cello sonata and, of course, the Dutton CD Don mentioned.  Google
produced some thousands of hits when asked for William Hurlstone, but
not all were for the composer.  I even checked Henry Fogel's Records
site (http://www.henrysrecords.org/index.html) which can be useful in
such cases but there was nothing there.  I have heard some of this music
but, like Roger, remember little of it.  Presumably Henry Fogel doesn't
either.
