Sadly, they did not include all of the interviews from the broadcast, including one with the composer. As I recall, referring to his symphonies in general, he says something like, "I never really thought anyone would play these thing." > Aries, in fact, put out airchecks of most of Brian's symphonies. When I read what you wrote, I wondered about those Aries recordings... why, I am not sure, but I did put together the listing below. I collected most of the broadcasts of them and have listed both the releases and the broadcasts I have. When there was an Aries release, I have listed the broadcast tape that I have, with the assumption that there was only one broadcast, my guess, even though I have not taken the time to compare, would be that in many of the instances the broadcast I have listed is the same on the Aries discs. Hope this isn't too confusing. 1 Slovenska Phil; Ondrej Lenard Marco Polo/Naxos BBC; Adrian Boult; Aries 2 Moscow SO; Tony Rowe; Marco Polo/Naxos Dresden SO; Ernest Weir ; Aries Kensington SO; Leslie Head 3 BBCSO; Lionel Friend; Hyperion Conservatorio Nacional de Lisboa Orch; Peter Michaels; Aries New Philharmonia; Stanley Pope 4 Czecho-Slovak Radio SO; Adrian Leper; Marco Polo/Naxos/HNH Edinburgh Youth SO; Allistair MacKenzie London PO; John Poole 5 Sao Paulo Symphony Orchestra; Francisco Teatro; Aries Brian Rayner Cooke, baritone; New Philharmonia; Stanley Pope 6 London Philharmonic; Myer Fredman; MHS, Lyrita/HNH 7 Royal PO; Charles Mackerras; EMI Royal Philharmonic; Harry Newstone 8 Royal Liverpool PO;Charles Groves; EMI Wales SO; Colin Wilson; Aries Royal Philharmonic, Myer Fredman 9 Royal Liverpool PO; Charles Groves; EMI Wales SO; Colin Wilson; Aries Royal Liverpool PO; Myer Fredman 10 Leichesterschire Schools SO; James Loughran; Unicorn/World Record Club 11 National SO of Ireland; Tony Rowe; Marco Polo Philharmonia Orchestra; Rudolf Schwarz 12 CzechoSlovak RSO; Adrian Leaper; Marco Polo/HNH Wales SO; Colin Wilson; Aries BBCSO; Norman del Mar 13 Hamburg PO; Horst Werner; Aries Royal Philharmonic; Stanley Pope 14 Wales SO; Colin Wilson; Aries London SO; Edward Downes 15 National SO of Ireland; Tony Rowe; Marco Polo Lisbon Conservatory Orchestra; Peter Michaels; Aries Royal Philharmonic Orchestra; Stanley Pope 16 London Philharmonic; Myer Fredman; MHS, Lyrita 17 RTE SO; Adrian Leaper; Marco Polo Hamburg PO; Horst Werner; Aries Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Stanley Pope 18 BBC Scottish SO; Lionel Friend; Marco Polo/Naxos Wales Symphony Orchestra; Colin Wilson; Aries New Philharmonia; Bryan Fairfax 19 Wales SO; Colin Wilson; Aries BBC Scottish SO; John Carnarina 20 National SO Unkraine; Andrew Penny; Marco Polo/HNH Edinburgh Youth Symphony; John Freedman; Aries New Philharmonia, Vernon Handley 21 Leichesterschire Schools SO; Eric Pinkett; Unicorn 22 Leicestershire Schools SO; Laszlo Heltay; CBS Classics Wales SO; Colin Wilson; Aries Royal Philharmonic Orchestra; Myer Fredman 23 Wales SO; Colin Wilson; Aries University of Illinois SO; Bernard Goodman 24 London Philharmonic Orchestra; Myer Fredman 25 National SO Unkraine; Andrew Penny; Marco Polo/HNH Sao Paulo Symphony Orchestra; Francisco Teatro; Aries BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra; John Canarina 26 Edinburgh Youth Symphony; John Freedman; Aries New Philharmonia, Vernon Handley 27 Philharmonia Orchestra; Charles Mackerras 28 Hamburg State PO; Horst Werner; Aries New Philharmonia, Leopold Stokowski, conductor 29 Philharmonia Orchestra; Myer Fredman 30 New Philharmonia; Harry Newstone 31 Royal PO; Charles Mackerras; EMI Philharmonia Orchestra; Charles Mackerras 32 RTE SO; Adrian Leaper; Marco Polo Philharmonia Orchestra; Myer Fredman Kensington Symphony Orchestra; Leslie Head Karl *********************************************** The CLASSICAL mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's HDMail High Deliverability Mailer for reliable, lightning fast mail delivery.
