And still more...

Stormin' Norman is the latest writer to applaud the new Elgar Concerto CD - read his pithy piece from La Scena Musicale here. Recommended heartily for anyone who doesn't like English music, less heartily for patriots of all things green and pleasant, but very heartily indeed for Graffin groupies and Elgar fiddle concerto fans.

What a horribly confused article. Vaughan Williams never mastered the concerto genre - so what? Neither did Mahler or Schubert. And as for there not being as much scholarly literature on recent British masterpieces as there is on works by the old masters, well, duh. Their works have been around longer.

Mahler wrote a violin concerto, recently
discovered and recorded by Vengerov.
