The finest unrecorded Classical works

[makropulos]

In 1993 this version has been recorded (by BIS iirc)



Not only for Austro-German repertoire: Milhaud, Pettersson, Badings, Sullivan, Wellesz, Casella, Searle, Villa-Lobos, MacFarren are hardly Austro-German, are they ?

Thanks for the information about the Grieg - I must chase that up.

And yes, of course you're right about CPO - I was trying to keep my post to some kind of sensible length. They are doing all sorts of enterprising repertoire. (Mind you, I know Wellesz became a British citizen but I tend to think of him as Austro-German even so).

Wellesz studied with Webern and fled the Nazis in 1938, so -like Schönberg, Korngold, Zemlinsky- he was strictly speaking an Austro-German composer, in his case in Britain. But with one difference: nearly his complete output was composed here, not in either Austria or Germany. The same applies to Frankel and his works.

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

And talking of Grieg, is there a recording of the second piano part he arranged for Mozart's Fantasia and Sonata in C minor (K.475 & 457)?

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

Forget the previous message. There is.

I remember playing those through with a friend when I was a student - they are hugely entertaining. :)

They are. I play them frequently with Uchida (on CD of course )

[3rd Viennese School]

That 6 minute concerto for orchestra that was played twice not that long back on Radio 3 has never been recorded!

Except by me on a cassette.

Twice

[Petrushka]

I know I've mentioned Richard Rodney Bennett's Violin Concerto on this thread but I would also very much like to see a recording made of what is, in effect, his horn concerto from 1977 written for Barry Tuckwell and entitled Actaeon. Come to think of it, there is very little of RRB's work on disc and I hope thst Chandos, Hyperion or NMC wlll take up the challenge. Might I suggest the excellent David Pyatt as the ideal soloist for Actaeon?

Listening to Schubert in Through the Night:

his opera Des Teufels Lustschloss D.84 is as far as I can see not available in any recorded format.
A very enjoyable opera, already typical Schubert, though the composer being only 16 at the time of its composition.

Schoenberg's Suite Op 25 on a recording made in the 1960s.

It's got to be Arnold's Goldberg!

[PJPJ]

Orchestral music by Jean Rivier? He seems very neglected.

A fine piece I agree, S_A but not unrecorded thankfully ...

There isn't much, but BIS and Naxos have got some in their back-catalogues.

What about Glenn Gould's recording from 1964?
