Charles Groves był wprawdzie zbyt młody, by poznać Elgara, Holsta i Deliusa osobiście, ale gdy dorastał, jako chórzysta w Katedrze Św. Pawła oraz uczeń szkoły katedralnej, były to najważniejsze nazwiska w muzyce brytyjskiej. I choć edukacja i temperament Grovesa pomogły mu poznać różnorodne obszary muzyki poważnej, dzieła brytyjskie pozostały dla niego na zawsze szalenie istotne. Z wieloma kompozytorami brytyjskimi pozostawał także w relacjach przyjacielskich i zawodowych. Jako student Royal College of Music grał na perkusji w „Hugh the Drover”. Fotografia, na której znalazł się razem z Vaughanem Williamsem, wisiała później dumnie w jego domu. Lubił być blisko kompozytorów i poczytywał sobie za przywilej znać ich i pracować z nimi osobiście.W 1953 r. Groves dokonał prawykonania „II Symfonii” Malcolma Arnolda i blisko zaprzyjaźnił się z kompozytorem. Od tego czasu propagował twórczość kompozytora, a nawet walczył o jego IX Symfonię, która była początkowo lekceważona. Groves uważał, że jeśli Arnold coś zapisał w partyturze, to znaczy, że był do dokładnie zamierzony efekt. Było to wyrazem jego głębokiego szacunku dla pracy kompozytorów. I nie chodziło wyłącznie o uznanych twórców. Groves był także żywo zainteresowany muzyką młodej generacji i prawykonywał wczesne kompozycje przedstawicieli Manchester School – Alexandra Goehra, Petera Maxwella Daviesa i Harrisona Birtwistle’a. Młody Simon Rattle regularnie uczęszczał na koncerty Groves’a, gdy był on głównym dyrygentem Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, i wspominał: „Jeśli pojawiał się jakiś interesujący nowy utwór, jak np. „Triumph of Time” Birtwistle’a, Charlie słyszał o nim, więcej – był on już zaplanowany na początek następnego sezonu”.Tak było istotnie przez całe jego życie. W 1987 r. dyrygował premierą zamówienia Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra u 19-letniego Kennetha Hesketha. Gdy wziął RLPO w trasę koncertową do Niemiec i Szwajcarii w 1966 i 1968 r., i do Polski w 1970 r., i gdy w ostatniej dekadzie swego życia był zapraszany jako dyrygent gościnny przez orkiestry na całym świecie – zawsze prezentował muzykę brytyjską.Charlesa Groves’a ceniono szczególnie jako interpretatora dzieł przeznaczonych na wielkie obsady. Po trasie koncertowej BBC Symphonic Orchestra w 1975 r., którą dzielił z Pierrem Boulezem (i w którą włączył dzieła Waltona, Deliusa, Tippetta i Brittena), poproszono go, aby dokonał japońskiego prawykonania „Mass of Life” Deliusa. Początkowo obawiał się poziomu japońskiej orkiestry, chóru i solistów, ale okazało się, że byli znakomici i że chór spędził dwa lata, przygotowując się do wykonania dzieła. Groves był także szczególnie wzruszony, gdy dyrygował „The Dream of Gerontius” w Düsseldorfie z chórem, który wykonywał to dzieło w 1901 r., niedługo po premierze w Birmingham. Natomiast podczas wykonania A Child of Our Time w Houston, zaprezentował się w koszulce „Turn on to Tippett” – nieco przekornie, biorąc pod uwagę fakt, że znał kompozytora od lat 50. XX w.© Martin Cotton, 2015Tracklista:CD 1Sir Edward Elgar 1857-1934Nursery Suite (1931)1. I. Aubade (Awake): Allegretto2. II. The Serious Doll: Andantino3. III. Busy-ness: Allegro molto4.
