Yes, I do agree. The Second Symphony is especially good. I remember it from an old EMI LP, coupled, If I remember correctly, with Robert Simpson's eqally impressive First Symphony (my favourite of Simpson's works) (Boult). That was a good series as it was my way into Edmund Rubbra's music as his Fifth Symphony (Barbirolli) was in the same sries with a wonderful Vaughan Williams Dives and Lazarus and Oboe Concerto. there should be more Fricker. There's a kind of gritty integrity about his music.
