Missing Vaughan Williams

I see more Vaughan Williams completions (‘The Steersman’ and ‘The Future’) have just been released on CD. Wonderful, and I can’t wait to hear them, but there's one big work he DID complete that still awaits a modern recording. When, oh when will someone give us a recording of the grandiose ‘Flourish for a Coronation’? – no small fanfare but a three movement, thirteen-minute choral and orchestral work for probably the largest forces VW ever used including eight horns and six trumpets!
