That's a clever alias name!

Well, yes, but it isn't easy to say whether his compositions are diamonds or rust.

We also drove through this one around the time of trying to forget what happened to Gabriel and the problems at Bootham Crescent before character turned it round.

It didn't quite qualify for "Commonwealth malarkey that should have a lot more airplay on Radio 3" so it will have to go here to get it out of whatever is "the system":

After much prompting, I just got round to listening to some Meyer, in fact the 6th SQ.

very striking indeed, and I will certainly be listening to more. very powerful sounding stuff.
Great recommendation.

Yes ts,amazing music isn't it.
Meyer was a Roehre recommendation on another thread.

Bryn is right: last night's TtN.
This work reminded me more than once of DSCH's orchestral works, especially the intro of the Leningrad before the fascist invasion starts, but more interestingly also from the 15th, which in 1962 still lay just short of a decade in the future.
The atmosphere is IMO very similar to the latter, though with a richer orchestration.

Reminded me also of Meyer's orchestral works (Meyer being another Polish DSCH pupil), especially his Poem for Viola and orchestra, also from 1962.

But the work confirms my (and your ) opinion that Weinberg is more than due for a revival of his output.

I'm a bit confused though.
Roehre mentioned a Poem for Viola and Orchestra (1962) which I've discovered was composed by Ernst Hermann Meyer (1905-1988) born in Berlin.
Krysztof Meyer was born in Poland and wrote a book on DSCH,hence the connection to Weinberg that Roehre mentions.
So either Roehre got his Meyers mixed up or I have discovered Krysztof by accident.
Whatever I'm certainly enjoying the music.
I haven't heard any EH Meyer yet.

A composer not really off the beaten track for me,as a rule.
But I think this is.

His concerto for solo piano from Op 39,orchestrated by Karl Klindworth in 1872 and revised in 1902.

Played by Dmitry Feofanov and the Razumovsky Symphony Orchestra conducted by Robert Stankovsky.(Naxos)
