Boult and the LPO made so many outstanding recordings of British music in his later years. There are many of these to be heard on KZitem. You can find Sir Adrian's readings of Elgar's Enigma variations, all the Pomp and Circumstance Marches, all the Vaughn Williams symphonies and the complete "The Wasps" suite. These are all conducted impeccably by maestro Boult and with excellent stereo sound. What a pleasure!

Three pieces that constitute some of the greatest writing for string orchestra. Each is a mini-masterpiece. I have a real soft spot for this remarkable performance by Boult and the LPO as it was one of my first "expensive" label LPs. I still love that beautiful illustration....The brilliant "Toccata" always reminds me a little of part of the composer's Piano Concerto, though that could well be a false memory playing tricks with my powers of recall. I'll have to listen and check as I haven't played it in years!

Evening Max. It wasn't an expensive purchase for me as NZ World Record Club released an LP set of two of the Boult Ireland recordings. Many WRC releases floated around in the second hand shops, Lyrita original pressings were far more rare...

Rodders, Morning to you. Still not the snow threatened here.....yet! Unfortunately, Lyrita was an expensive label, well, relatively speaking! It would have been about 1974/75 I purchased my copy. Nowadays, original Lyrita vinyls are highly sought-after. A friend's older brother, a lawyer, had the biggest collection of British music I'd ever seen!! And this was pre-CD times. He specialised in the Lyrita label.....how I envied him!

The Ireland Concertino is a minor masterpiece. I wish it was played in concert halls.

Another superb piece by John Ireland. In fact, I bought this very same LP in order to get to know the composer better and all the works are very fine. For those new to John Ireland's music, please explore his wonderful piano miniatures and chamber pieces, all pure gold.

A gem of a composition. Why is this never heard in our concert halls?

I have just play this in a small chamber group called the National Youth Strings Orchestra (NYSO). I am a bass player and it has one of the best bass parts there is. It is a great shame that not more people know this piece.

CONCERT HALLS ARE TOO LAZY TO PUT ON MUCH BESIDES THE USUAL OVER PLAYED BEETHOVEN & BRAHME ECT THAT MOST PEOPLE WILL SETTLE FOR, NOT KNOWING THAT MANY THOUSANDS OF OTHER TUNEFULL WORKS EXIST !!!..

I think that String writing can be seen as signatures by composers, be it Dvorak, Suk, Elgar and many others. Wonderful and not to be missed.

My all-time hypermega-favorite string orchestra. Ireland needs to be better known.
