Dallapiccola: sex carmina alcaei; piccola musica notturna;preghiere.
Busoni: Bereceuse Elegaique
Wolpe: Piece in two parts for six players.
Fans of 20th-century music will recognise this list as the contents of ASD2388, a Gulbenkian-sponsored disc fromthe 1960s. Wonderful performances from HeatherHarper,Barry McDaniel, and an ensemble led by Wolpe's pianist-daughter Katherina.

Originally posted by Serial_Apologist View PostFascinating programme there, smittims - the Dallapiccola a fairly early work from his 12-tone period that listeners might be had-put to hear as being serial; the Busoni piece that Mahler conducted, if I'm not mistaken - I often wonder what he made of it! - and a piece by an American composer of the mid-20th century whose music we rarely get to hear, and who was a pupil of Webern.

So there are three versions of the Busoni, including the one made for Schoenberg's Private Musical Performances society, which has appeared on a 1980s Philips LP.
I often wonder what Mahler thought of Rachmaninov's Third Concerto, of which I think he conducted the second peformance, in New York in 1910. There's a letter of Rachmaninov praising Mahler's generous rehearsal, but I've yet to find a remark by Mahler on the occasion.

I'm a bit horrified by the cost of this
Sheet music for Bartók, B: The String Quartets of Béla Bartók: buy online. string quartet (STR 4TET). Published by Boosey & Hawkes. Composer: Bartók.
but it's a handsomely presented hardback, with Matyas Seiber's (unattributed) introductions.
You should splash out on it if you don't already have the scores.
I didn't make a note of the date I bought my copy, but it was on a trip to NYC MANY years ago, and I see it was reduced from $35.00 to $31.50. I think I bought Peter Evans' The Music of Benjamin Britten at the same time, as it has the price in US$ too (29.50), and a card from the seller that I tucked inside: Josep Patelson Music House Ltd, with the handy hint 'Just Back of Carnegie Hall'. I probably lived on lentils for the rest of the year, as we went to Götterdämmerung at The Met too!
PS: I suspect that the wrong image has been associated with this on Amazon, but it might just be worth contacting the seller if you're interested in the full set:

but I know that there has been lots of discussion elsewhere.
Wasn't BeefO wondering which to take to listen to on holiday once?
I'm sure Bryn will find the threads more quickly than I can.
Like him, I have The Fine Arts set (originally Saga LPs); my first CD set was the Emersons, but I supplemented that with the 1963 Juilliard set (Sony), which again I'd had on LP, and (as a result of this BaL) the Kellers on a very cheap Apex 2CD set.
