RE: Easter
Have you listened to the "Return of Ulysses", Troyen?
Searle is the least of my concerns or interests, by the way. Skalkottas was at least so prolific and committed to his Art.

It's the fill-up for the Greek Dances. Hadn't it been made clear that I own these discs?
Committed to his art was he? Implying what, Searle wasn't? Who says so, you, or Wikepedia? Doesn't make The Return of Ulysses anything other than something that will never be popular with the public no matter how much the composer was committed to art.
What, did Googling Searle not produce any clips you can listen too?
I did, indirectly, hint for you not to bother.
Personally, I find Frankel more tuneful (your task for this evening).

RE: Easter
My question was rhetorical. I knew you own the respective CDs. I just question your criticism on the quality and not the popularity of the "Return of Ulysses".
I didn't imply Searle was not a committed composer; he simply leaves me indifferent, almost totally. Check how many recordings are devoted to his work and how many to Skalkottas.
As for Frankel, what is so "tuneful" about his music? The "Curse of the Werewolf" (Monster music)?!

There should be some sort of equivalent of a cinema rating/warning on posts like that one to prevent the unwary choking with laughter as a result of reading them whilst having a cuppa.
