Final music spot of 2016: Ring Out Wild Bells

For the New Year's Eve 2016 music slot here is Percy Fletcher's 1914 setting of Tennyson's poem "In Memoriam" which was my quote of the day.

This is one of the most perfect of Fletchers music, and a wonderful tribute to Tennysons Memorium A H H .
What a shame it is so hard to find recordings of this.
This performance sounds as though it was wonderful - pity the recording quality is not that great.

Great recording - Huddersfield Choral, Back Dyke Mills Band - A Christmas Fantasy - on the Chandos Label. That is about the only decent recording I've been able to find. And I agree - Fletcher was brilliant, and this is probably his best composition. Hope you can find this recording - the whole CD is great, but that track is marvellous.
