Recovering A Lost Symphony

E. J. Moeran : Sketches for Symphony No 2 realised and completed by Martin Yates. Performers : Royal Scottish National Orchestra conducted by Martin Yates. I don't know how much is Moeran but Yates has done a fine job in compiling a very worthwhile addition to the mid - 20th century English symphonic repertoire. The fillers on the disk fall a bit too close to the light music genre for my taste, Moeran's Overture for a Festival as orchestrated by Rodney Newton and John Ireland's Sarnia : An island sequence for orchestra.
