Wood is so highly spoken of (and so important) that one wonders why he did not make more recordings: it is a pity there is no recording by him of the Moeran symphony. I wonder if he was not considered reliable enough - his recording of RVW's London Symphony is magnificent, but perhaps a little wayward, and not always secure orchestrally. There is the possibility he just did not like the process.Andrew Smithnoreply@blogger.com
