    Re-issue of the Month

June 2005

A repackaging of music rarely heard in Howell's lifetime. Not on grounds of quality, surely: two movements for cello and orchestra, a characterful suite The B's, and a song-cycle In Green Ways are all worth resurrecting.

2011 edition

The inspired suite, The Bs, celebrates the composer's musician friends and colleagues at the Royal College of Music at the beginning of the 1914-18 war...Hickox and the LSO are ardent and communicative advocates of all this fine music...A most attractive bargain reissue, joining together two equally desirable discs.
