Florence Price's symphonies

Thanks, Nick Barnard, for having the courage to prick the Florence Price bubble. I have listened to all three recorded symphonies several times over and, by and large, find them not merely conservative but dull. I’m a great lover of neglected romantics but really these works, the ‘jubas’ perhaps aside, hardly deserve the fuss, much less the praise bestowed on them. As for a Gramophone Recording of the Month, well, words fail me...
