The Sonata Capriccio of 1963-4 that appears on RCF.009 (which I admit I've never seen) is by Eric Hughes, not Patrick Cairns "Spike" Hughes, who wrote his handful of "classical" instrumental works in the 1920s, then turned to jazz band composition and arranging, and then theatre and radio music, journalism and writing. By 1950 he had pretty much given up composing altogether <br /><br />I haven't been able to dig much up on Eric Hughes, but six of his works are listed at the British Music Collection, here - https://britishmusiccollection.org.uk/composer/eric-hughes<br /><br />It's possible the original error comes from the notes of another release, BMS 009, which Rob Barnett reviewed in 2001. He mentions the notes are "splattered with errors" but quite possible took the misattribution as fact from those notes. but he does say in that review that Eric Hughes studied with Alan Bush and Franz Reizenstein. They were both of much the same generation as Spike Hughes, whose main teacher (from 1923) was Egon Wellesz in Vienna. <br /><br />http://www.musicweb-international.com/classrev/2001/may01/clarinet.htm<br /><br />all the best,<br /><br />John Abbott<br />Hampstead Norreys, Berkshire.

Some of these disks look similar to some of his Saga LPs. I wonder if these Fiorentino recordings are legitimate? <br /><br />p.f.r.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807018700599489326.post-10315125625314175592013-12-15T16:16:05.652+00:002013-12-15T16:16:05.652+00:00Did you notice Joyce Hatto's name in the list?...Did you notice Joyce Hatto's name in the list?
