Hi Bill,

You might like to bring this to the attention of others. The British Symphonic Collection is a collection of 10 CD’s now reissued at a bargain price from Amazon. CD 2 includes the excellent Coleridge Taylor Symphony in A minor which I originally paid a lot more for than the price this set is now offered.
