A vintage Lyrita stereo recording featuring two orchestral works by English composer John Ireland, conducted by Sir Adrian Boult and performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
The record includes Ireland’s substantial choral work These Things Shall Be, performed with the London Philharmonic Choir and baritone John Carol Case, together with his Piano Concerto in E Flat Major, featuring pianist Eric Parkin.
Originally published in 1968, this highly regarded recording was produced by specialist British classical label Lyrita. The performances were recorded at Kingsway Hall, London, during November 1967.
The original sleeve has an attractive turquoise-and-black portrait design and extensive notes by Harold Rutland on the reverse.
