For any one who is interested in Sterndale Bennett, the Royal Academy of Music, London has an all day event with talks and performances of his music, some of which will be played on his Broadwood piano recently restored with funding from the late Oliver Davies and Barry Sterndale Bennett.
It takes place next Tuesday 22 November.  Tickets are free and can be had by going to their web site.

eschiss1 - It is probably not worth looking for the string quartet. Cobbett's reviewer is not very enthusiastic about it. They are usually fairly accurate.

[Sir Julius Benedict]

Sir Julius Benedict  Born 27,11,1802 Stuttgart  - Died 5,5,1885 London

In 2012 I met with a descendant of Eugene d'Albert. It was they who told me about the early concerto in G major which is in Dresden. In their opinion it was of curiosity value only. For completists it might be worth recording but otherwise is best left to scholars.

I feel a bit numb and a feeling of desolation so Shostakovich 11th Symphony in G minor Op.103.

Also the slow stateliness of Elgar's 1st Symphony.
