Rootham has done much for other contemporary composers; unfortunately he has been deficient in peddling his own wares'. This verdict on Cyril Rootham may serve to explain the neglect his music suffered during his lifetime. However, the general indifference it has encountered subsequently is unfathomable. It is to be hoped that this Lyrita release, which echoes the enterprise of the same label's pioneering 1976 studio recording of the First Symphony will reawaken interest in a key figure in early twentieth century British music.
