Fletcher recorded the Bourgeois for a BBC broadcast with the BBC Cardiff orchestra, Vernon Handley conducting. I believe it was done in studio without audience. It has never been issued commercially, but the BBC is issuing numerous of its archive recordings now. Most of them feature big name artists like Richter, Guilini, Menuhin, etc., and the A&R people behind it probably don't think think of Fletcher in that sense, though there is a Brain issue. Maybe we need to drop 'em a line.
