Instead of academic contentions, I'd like to acknowledge this release with a welcoming post.Kalkbrenners D-minor concerto and the slow movement of his A-flat major composition, from the previous RPC volume of his works, possess the elegant, dark passion which portends Early Romanticism of a high and signature quality to me. We also, thanks to the scholarship here, learn of a plan or a recording far in advance of its release. Sometimes that gestation period takes years. Sometimes it never comes to pass. I greet this release with relief, then, that it will actually happen. I invest the projected RPC release of the Pixis compositions with the same mix of excited hope and some anxiety. If it follows this second volume of Kalkbrenner in about a year, this will personally be a highlighted span for me in this grand series. Can and will whoever specifically knows about the Pixis concerto volume that has been promised, give the most recent update on its status, please? I know I'm not the only one eager. Thank You.
