Herbert Hamilton Harty (1879-1941) is a contemporary of Edward Elgar and his music tends to harken back to an earlier era in British history and society. His music is congenial, if a bit proper. He does let go, as in A Comedy Overture (of 1904). But mostly his music, like that of his generation, comes from folk sources. His Irish Symphony (1904) was for a competition for a work to do for Ireland what Dvorak did for America in his Symphony 9. Harty's music has always been underrated (or overshadowed). Praise be to Chandos for bringing him back to light. --Paul Cook
