Title: A Great Recording
Product review: In case you do not already own the Chandos CD featuring this pairing conducted by Richard Hickox, there is also this excellent recording with Vernon Handley. No, I am not going to bore you with a movement-by-movement comparison (I have not done one, and you can always read Fanfare if you enjoy more musicological exposition), I am only going to point out that these are two entertaining symphonies by a modern master, recorded in excellent sound--if you really enjoy symphonic music, this is a disk you ought to have in your collection. And if you already have the Hickox recording, then by golly, YOU can do the movement-by-movement comparison!
