Works missing from the Proms for too long

[seabright]

Joachim Raff: Symphony No. 5 "Lenore" - Played once only in 1895. When Bernard Herrmann recorded it for 'Unicorn' with the LPO he declared it one of the great "programmatic" symphonies. An unidentified recording on You Tube has had over 22,000 "views" so a Proms revival ought to sell a few tickets ...

That man Raff was paid a backhanded compliment by Tchaikovsky, who wrote that compared to Brahms ("that giftless b*stard"), Raff was a "genius".

I'd be very interested to hear some Rutland Boughton works at the Proms.

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

... Though it would be even better to have Boughton's operas performed at Glastonbury.

[EdgeleyRob]

How about an entire Prom season comprised of music that has never been played previously at the Proms, not even once?

That gets my vote on this thread.

Will there be neglected Brits and Russians BeefO ?
Put me down for a season ticket anyway.

Although you are being petulant, it's not such a bad idea and would get my vote. I think that you are wrong that it would be better than performing them at the Proms, though.

[EdgeleyRob]

Some quick suggestions:
(2) William Alwyn: Lyra Angelica (last Proms outing, 1954)

I'd Putin a word for the Ruskies, and there would be s 2 squillion neglected Brit, commonwealth & similar

DOUBLE ORCHESTRA SYMPHONIES OPUS 18 BY JOHANN CHRISTIAN BACH
About 15 years ago I and the late Dr Ernest Warburton wrote to Nicholas Kenyon suggesting/ proposing a concert - maybe a late night one of about one hour - to include the 3 'stereo' symphonies Opus18 by J.C. Bach, which we believed would sound wonderful in the vast spaces of the RAH. Even better if that concert could have been on one of the J.C. Bach anniversary dates of e.g. September 5th 1995, 2005, 2015 etc.
Mr (as he was then) Kenyon replied - quite positively - saying 'yes we are definitely planning to include some J.C. Bach very soon'.
Since then there have been NO Proms performances of any works by Johann Christian Bach. The only work by J.C. Bach EVER played in the Proms was 65 years ago, in 1950 on 8th August, the 8-minute Symphony in Bb a.k.a. 'Lucio Silla' Overture.
This woefully neglected and undervalued composer who was a London-based, in effect naturalised British citizen for over 20 years, and one of Mozart's friends and teachers, deserves better.

Dies Natalis, Finzi. Possibly too intimate for the wide-open spaces but possibly not.
Rachmaninov Vespers. Ideally late night slot with Russian choir.
1812 overture.

[Barbirollians]

Yes the reason I put played at least once at the Proms was to stop fhgl listing the vast majority of the works ever written by Ferneyhough and Lachenmann

[Bryn]
