I assume this is the same Moser:

This CD has been uploaded to YT, apparently by I Tempi.

At last! It's the charming set of English Folk Dances by Ernest Tomlinson, starting with "Jenny Pluck Pears". now I can sleep easy!  ;D

I liked the sound of the piano concerto and constantly felt I should be enjoying it more than I did. It sounds to me like someone trying to play Rachmaninov but getting half the notes wrong.
I suppose that's chromaticism for you!  ;D

I echo the previous comments. Enjoyable, but so many trills in the middle movement that I really wanted to 'fast forward'! The last movement scamper reminded me of Litolff. It was composed before 1924 (per imslp), but I wonder how long before? In fact, I have been unable to discover any of the dates of Lange's compositions, as he doesn't appear in any of my regular sources.

Have you identified this yet, Christopher? It is so familiar to me, and yet I can't name it. It's very frustrating!  :-\

Thank you for this, Christopher. I have only listened once through, but I've really enjoyed it. As the  piece above says, it is truly "a celebration of the people, the embodiment of youth and zest for life, a manifestation of determination and inspiration with which people face tomorrow despite all troubles". And, how heartening to see so many young performers throwing themselves into the music - a gathering dedicated to music-making, while the Russian invasion rages beyond.

Odd movements as enticements to purchase the CD/download are understandable, but to make the whole thing available is crazy. The music is immediately attractive, and so that tactic would surely have paid off.
#9
Like the Caro CD, this appears to be complete on YT - which is perhaps disheartening for those who have purchased either disc!
#10
SPMK has uploaded what appears to be the whole of Hommage à Paul Caro to YT. It's beautiful music.

After some absence from UC I have finally caught up with the Franke affair and with this thread on Kauffmann. May I say, most sincerely, heartfelt congratulations to all involved in exposing the abominable behaviour of the former and asserting the artistic rights and merits of the latter. What wonderful and talented people we have on UC. I am in awe!

Not wanting to divert from the topic, but it's difficult to reconcile those prices. I may be over-suspicious but Apple seems to me to be continually in trouble over downloads and royalties, so I always wonder if they are playing the game fairly.

It's such an attractive selection of pieces, and such a warm endorsement, that I am almost persuaded to 'double-up' on  my existing versions. The rediscovery of the music of Mel Bonis is a joy to behold!

Thanks, John. 
From what you say, it sounds like it's time to re-visit Goetz. I can't recall any of his music, although I know I like it!
I too have CDs unopened - mostly boxed sets - but others almost worn through from repeated plays. ::)

I see the CD is on E-bay from AU$33 and US$20, and on Amazon UK at £11.50.
