I cannot but agree with all these comments about Fricker's music and its shameful neglect. Some may also remember that his Fifth Symphony (organ and orchestra) was available on a "pirate" label many years ago. It is not his best work, but still worth a hearing. On the other hand, both the Fourth Symphony and Rondeaux (organ and orchestra) are superb and cry out for recording. Who will consider such fine stuff for possible recording, I wonder. A few years ago, CPO recorded Searle's symphonies. They might thus consider Fricker's ones some day. Fricker's music may at times be uneven but the best of it is just splendid.
