Symphony in F minor (The Irish) played by the BBC Scottish Orchestra : conductor, Ian Whyte
Stanford's ' Irish ' Symphony is practically unknown to the present generation. It should be more popular, because it is full of good tunes. The chief tune in the slow movement is rather like the one that opens the stow movement of Brahms's Fourth Symphony, but although the two symphonies were composed about the same time, it is not a case of plagiarism. Stanford actually based his tune on an old Irish folk song, ' The Lament of the Sons of Usnach '.
The last movement is based on two
Irish tunes, Remember the glories of Bryan the Brave and ' Let Erin remember the days of old'.

Piano Quartet in C minor played by the London Belgian Piano Quartet
Of all Brahms's many instrumental works only three bear witness to programmatic intention : the Piano Sonata in F minor, Op. 5, the Tragic Overture, and the Piano Quartet in C minor. Although the Piano Quartet has neither sub-title nor inscription, on at least three occasions Brahms indicated to his friends its emotional background. To his publisher, Simrock, he wrote : ' You may place a picture on the title-page, namely, a head-with a pistol in front of it. This will give you some idea of the music. I shall send you a picture of myself for the purpose I You may also make use of a blue frock-coat, a yellow waistcoat, and top boots, as you appear to be so fond of colour prints.' This last description refers to Goethe's Werther, the unhappy lover.
