Peter Lundin asked: >Can someone here recomend a recording (dearly availible currently) >of Herbert Howells "Concerto for String Orchestra" (My translation from >the mentinioning by a Swedish morning show announcer a few min ago) The work in question is probably his Music for Strings. This is on Chandos CHAN9161 with Howells' Suite for String Orchestra, Elegy for solo viola, string quartet and string orchestra, Serenade; City of London Sinfonia cond Richard Hickox. I haven't heard this version of Music for Strings but I have several others in Hickox's Howells series on Chandos and assume that this CD would be of the same high standard as those.
