Evan, you rightly ask whether Bax's reputation would stand much lower than Bruckner's today if the very greatest conductors had played his music for 50 years. I have always thought that Bax badly needed a continental or American champion who would introduce his music to the world. Beecham was the one Englishman who could have done it and, while I don't begrudge him his advocacy for Delius, it's unfortunate he wasn't moved to do the same for Bax. EMI and Decca's lack of interest was equally unfortunate: the former recorded only one of his symphonies (on 78s), the latter none at all!
