My pleasure, and I really mean it. Quilter is a real joy to listen to.

Indeed. Some of Quilter's songs may be accused of being somewhat over-sweet and sentimental, not to mention the occasionally very poor choice of texts, but one can never fault his music for is a lack of elegance or deficient part-writing.

Now you are asking me, of course, when and where that was recorded. It is a good and healthy thing to pause from time to time (if time permits, naturally), and ask yourself, earnestly and honestly, when and where that was recorded. As fate would have it, I too sometimes pause (if time permits, naturally), and ask myself, when and where was that recorded, all very earnestly and honestly. Well, James Rogers, I will tell you when and where that was recorded, because like you, I have been pondering these questions, these very questions which form the backbone of Western thought, ever since I have started asking them. I am able to tell you when and where that was recorded, because I have been able to uncover that very information, that very information you and I and everyone else is looking for, namely when and where that was recorded. Anyway, 14 and 15 March 1998, Blackheath Halls, London.

​@@matthewlewiscomposer I think my response was perfectly clear, but in case of persistent uncertainties I will gladly clarify, provided that you formulate your questions in complete sentences. Kind regards, The channel manager

If it be so greatly please you, owner of the account dedicated to the repertoire of the unofficial Frankfurt Five, I am most pleased with this recording and uploaded that you have so kindly and gratefully gifted. I am particularly fond of the wild music that is of the Australian composer, who be so called as Percy Aldridge Grainger. To summarise in full detail, I am content with this upload and have great thankfulness for your contribution towards the platform, titled as such, RUclips.

Percy Grainger and Roger Quilter were avid admirers of Grieg's work, so I wouldn't be all too surprised if Balfour Gardiner was influenced by the Norwegian as well.

I'm afraid I'm unable to help you out there.

@@UnofficialFrankfurtFive Thanks so much.

That's an excellent description of the entirety of Quilter's œuvre. He is best known for his art songs, and I strongly recommend that you give them a listen if you are unfamiliar with them.

As is your comment.

Glad to be of help.

My pleasure.

My pleasure, although my schedule is rather irregular, you have to admit.

@@UnofficialFrankfurtFive great things take time ;)

My pleasure.

Please don't drop the Brahms. Drop some Chopin instead...

@@UnofficialFrankfurtFive Not dropping anything, actually. But including something.

@@lorenzopone869 That's good to hear. I hope the Scott piano quartet was to your liking.

@@UnofficialFrankfurtFive I was actually glad you uploaded it, but being honest I couldn't listen yet 😇😅. I put it on my watch later list.

@@UnofficialFrankfurtFive whattttt dont drop chopin!!?

My pleasure. As far as I can tell, Grainger is by far the best documented of the group, perhaps due in part to his larger-than-life, eccentric personality. I have read Valerie Langfield's superb biography of Quilter and can highly recommend it. It contains a complete catalogue of Quilter's œuvre, and I was quite shocked to discover that several of his compositions have never even been published. I had intended to upload some works by Quilter, but admittedly lost a bit of interest in maintaining this channel. I would love to make a video for his "Non Nobis, Domine", but I cannot find a decent recording for the life of me. Scott has always been my favourite of the group, and fortunately many of his works are available on cd. Gardiner left very little music and O'Neill wrote predominantly for the theatre, so it is not easy to find recordings and material about them, although there is a dedicated O'Neill website and a biography by Derek Hudson. There is a youtube channel called "Musical Treasures" which has lots of rare Grainger scores and resources. Cheers!

@@UnofficialFrankfurtFive Thanks a lot for such a passionate and detailed answer! Please, maintain the channel lol!

@@UnofficialFrankfurtFive I was thinking they might even be the Pre-Raphaelite of music, as group! I would include Warlock in this, even though he wasn't a member of the group.

My pleasure. Mr. Gardiner may not have been a great composer, but he certainly wrote some very enjoyable music (give his "Overture to a Comedy" a listen). Unfortunately, he destroyed a lot of his works.

@@UnofficialFrankfurtFive Thanks! I will do that. I read about his destroying his own stuff. So unfortunate. This piece is one of the very dearest in all musical lit, in my opinion. Just magical. It evokes a nostalgia for a feeling and emotion that may never have existed.
