Hamilton Harty - Recordings

Recordings

According to the Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, "Recordings capture the brilliance of conducting. They include The Rio Grande, Walton's First Symphony, some outstanding Berlioz extracts and Elgar's Enigma Variations and Cello Concerto (with W.H. Squire)." Though few of Harty's compositions continued to be regularly programmed in the concert hall, and even the once-popular Handel arrangements have fallen from favour in the era of authentic period performance, several of his works have been recorded for compact disc, notably by the Ulster Orchestra.
