Earlier this year a widely read Overgrown Path post explained how audiences need permission to like unfamiliar music. Now that permission is being granted in style by a 4CD box from Lyrita titled British Symphonies. It will retail for around the cost of a single full price CD when released on September 9th. Buy it or live forever in darkness, because this is what is on the discs:

2. Cyril Rootham, Symphony No.1 in C minor
3. E.J. Moeran, Sinfonietta
