Another BIS release, the final discs in Fredrik Ullén's recordings of Sorabji's Transcendental Studies:
By far the largest collection of concert études in the known repertoire, Kaikhosru Sorabji’s set of 100 Transcendental Studies, composed between 1940 and 1944, has a total
I'm currently importing the 96/24 stereo stream from Qobuz but will probably get the CDs (when the price drops) to supplement the earlier releases in that format. I have held off listening until the recording project was completed. Something to fill most of the 25th.

Hi all,
I know Alkan doesn't perhaps count as especially unsung but some of the works on Mark Viner's new disc are first recordings.
Here's a link to his web shop for pre-ordering this disc:
Charles-Valentin Alkan (1813-1888) Paraphrases, Marches & Symphonie for solo piano, Op.39 Salut, cendre du pauvre!, paraphrase, Op.45 Super flumina Babylonis, paraphrase, Op.52 Trois Marches quasi da cavalleria, Op.37No.1 Allegro moltoNo.2 Allegro vivace*No.3 Allegro* Alleluia, Op.25 Marche funèbre, Op.26 Marche triomphale, Op.27 Douze Etudes dans tous les tons mineurs, Op.39Nos.4-7 'Symphonie'I 1er Mouvement: Allegro moderatoII Marche funèbre: AndantinoIII MenuetIV Finale: Presto *first recordings (PCL10207)
I'll be buying this from there rather than anywhere else as at least that way, Mark gets all the royalties and, in these strange times, the artists need all the help they can get.Best regards,
Jonathan

Just downloaded the basic CD rate FLACs, along with four other titles (ensuring the 10% discount). I will probably burn Op. 76 to a pair of CD-Rs to go with the others from the series I already have on CD. I do like the way Hyperion include not only a pdf of the booklet but also one in epub format.

It really is time for me to return to the later Haydn Quartets, especially after my recently-renewed passion for the Mozart Haydn/Prussian sets, which is still very live indeed....
There is no genre more important to me now than the String Quartet.
All a question of formats.... I was only thinking yesterday, of the Haydn Op.76/77 etc as possibly my next adventure, or musical dwellngplace.....a spiritual retreat..... so, very glad to see this release. Thanks for highlighting it.

Somewhat overwhelmed by his own early success, he went into religious retreat for two years after 1962, and this does seem to have damaged his career as a recording artist, with Decca at least. Shame for future musiclovers perhaps, but I guess he had to follow his heart, and never seems to have regretted it.
Some of his best recordings are in fact on the Arts label (a boxset of these would probably be even more interesting...), with various Italian and Spanish orchestras, including Mozart and Mendelssohn Symphonies, Brahms, Strauss waltzes and even a complete Beethoven Cycle.
I'd recommend the Mendelssohn and Mozart very enthusiastically. I haven't heard the Beethoven but I suspect it would be very rewarding, given Maag's ear for clarity and rhythmic precision, allied to an expressive warmth.
He seems to have felt under pressure in his early Decca years, and to my ears these later recordings have a greater freedom and musical wisdom, more warmth and joy.
Most of them are available on Qobuz, and well worth anyone's listening time!Last edited by jayne lee wilson; 04-02-21, 20:52.

Originally posted by cloughie View PostLooks a very nice box and I would think contains all his recordings on Decca and DG, BUT having been a long standing Maag fan I’ve probably got all the recordings by him that I want.
