This morning on BBC Radio 3's Saturday morning 'Record Review' programme Andrew McGregor is playing extracts from some of the first batch of recordings of English music from the revitalised Lyrita label including: TIPPETT The Midsummer Marriage onLYRITA SRCD2217 ALWYN Miss Julie on LYRITA SRCD2218 RUBBRA Symphony No. 6, Op.80, Symphony No.8, Op.132, Soliloquy for Cello and Orchestra, Op.57 on LYRITA SRCD234 G. WILLIAMS Fairest of Stars, Ballads for Orchestra & Symphony No.2 on LYRITA SRCD327 D. JONES Symphony No.9, Symphony No.6 & The Country Beyond the Stars on LYRITA SRCD326 STANFORD Piano Concerto No.2 in C minor, Op.126, Irish Rhapsody No.4, Op.141 & the Funeral March 'The Martyrdom' from Becket, Op.48 on LYRITA SRCD219 G.
