I read a review the other day in the TLS of a newly published book about the English composer Edmund Rubbra. According to the review, Rubbra was much influenced by EP's Treatise on Harmony. I haven't seen the book, but I thought I would pass on this snippet of information in case anyone interested in EP and music had missed it. I'm a big fan of Rubbra myself - he's a much neglected composer who has suffered overmuch from the assumption that English 20C composers who wrote in a tonal idiom are all irredeemable nostalgia merchants of the cow-pat school. Older news is that Hyperion not long ago released a double CD of Walter Rummel's complete Bach transcriptions. Moody has quite a lot on the Pound Rummel friendship in his recent semi-biography. Of the many CDs I have bought recently, this is one of my favourites. Snippets, as I say, but I hope they may be of interest to someone. http://www.hyperion-records.co.uk/al.asp?al=CDA67481/2&f=rummel http://www.mdt.co.uk/MDTSite/product//CDA67481-2.htm http://www.amazon.co.uk/Edmund-Rubbra-Symphonist-Leo-Black/dp/1843833557/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1216332339&sr=1-1 http://www.amazon.com/Edmund-Rubbra-Symphonist-Leo-Black/dp/1843833557/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1216332385&sr=1-1 Keep Pounding Richard Edwards _________________________________________________________________ 100’s of Nikon cameras to be won with Live Search http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/101719808/direct/01/
