Title: New thread for upcoming interesting 2018 Romantic unsung concerts
Post by: eschiss1 on Tuesday 19 December 2017, 05:18
Not a perfect start since I forget if Goossens symphony 2 belongs in our remit, but I want to put something here, and will keep looking for other things that more _definitely_ belong here. Anyhow, there's a couple of concerts in Cincinnati, US, that contain Goossens symphony 2 (Jan. 6 and 7 2018 - see 6 January 2018 @ Bachtrack (https://bachtrack.com/concert-listing/music-hall-1640/sir-andrew-davis-celbrates-csos-history/06-january-2018/20-00) eg) and another with several Sibelius works and one by Merikanto that's intriguing. Mentioned Irlande by Holmès in another thread, which is in NYC in May 2018.
January 11-12 2018 in Liverpool: Stenhammar Serenade.
Jan. 12 2018 in Osaka: Hans Rott, Hamlet Overture (Japanese premiere.)
Jan. 17 2018 in Amsterdam: Dover quartet plays Zemlinsky's 2nd quartet in D minor.
Jan. 18-19 2018 in the Berwaldhall, Stockholm: concert with the Atterberg cello concerto.
January 22 2018 in NYC the Jupiter symphony Chamber Players will be playing Rozycki's piano quintet in C minor op.35, a work of interest to me and some other members of this forum I think maybe.

I think this is a good idea, Eric. The thread on Unsung items in concerts has been quite busy, and starting a new one for 2018 seems the logical step. I'm sure it will grow very quickly.  :)

here in Milan at the Teatro Dal Verme, on April 19th and 21st, the Pomeriggi Musicali Orchestra will play Volkmann's Cello concerto.
We'll be graced with some luxury casting: the soloist is going to be no less than Daniel Muller-Schott.
Alessandro Cadario will conduct it (along with R.Strauss Romanza for violoncello&orch, plus Schumann's "Rhenish")

I always count it a huge bonus that the two Raff Cello Concertos made their recording debut as one of the young Muller-Schott's first CDs. He's a fabulous soloist.

Never mind that last post by me (which I deleted). Still, there is a performance of Reinecke's flute ballade later today the 21st in Luxembourg according to Schott's calendar :D

And there is a NYC concert with Stenhammar's 2nd symphony (and Canning and Martinů) (February 10 (https://bachtrack.com/concert-listing/church-of-st-mary-the-virgin/new-york-repertory-orchestra-concert-february-10-2018-canning-martinu-and-stenhammar/10-february-2018/20-00)), and another with Taneev's piano quintet (February 7th (https://bachtrack.com/concert-listing/columbia-university-italian-academy/aspect-foundation-for-music-arts-taneyev-and-arensky-in-tchaikovskys-shadow/07-february-2018/19-30)) so some things are going on even vaguely near me, which is nice I suppose.

A few more:

Rabaud's Mârouf, savetier du Caire (opera, premiered 1914) will be performed in Bordeaux several times early next month and late April.
Théodore Dubois' terzettino for flute, viola and harp is receiving at least two performances this year- 27 March in Skipton and twice (June 3 and 4) in Madrid (Fundación Juan March).

I forget if a concert in which Magnard's Chant funèbre (and works by Stravinsky and Fauré) will be performed, June 19 2018 in Freiburg, has been mentioned (http://bz-ticket.de/sinfoniekonzert-philharmonisches-orchester-konzerthaus-freiburg-x5x (http://bz-ticket.de/sinfoniekonzert-philharmonisches-orchester-konzerthaus-freiburg-x5x).)

from Musicsalesclassical.com and Bachtrack--
Myaskovsky's 19th symphony to be performed March 1st @ Oklahoma City University.
Another performance of Taneev's piano quintet on Feb. 13 (there was one tonight :) ) in Leeds, a performance of his concert overture to Oresteia on May 31 in San Fran, his Op.1 Ioann Damask. on June 17 in Cologne, and his 2nd string quintet @ the West Cork Chamber Music Festival...

One more from me:
The brilliant pianist Mark Viner is including in his recital on the 2nd of March at Wigmore Hall, Alkan's Trois morceau dans le genre pathetique (Op.15), as well as Works by Liszt, Thalberg and Chopin. It starts at 7.30pm. Sadly, it's too far for me to go.
Title: Re: New thread for upcoming interesting 2018 Romantic unsung concerts
Post by: eschiss1 on Friday 16 February 2018, 17:47
Thanks!
Also two performances of Paderewski works (at least two) in late April: the better-known piano concerto in A minor on April 26&27 in Pamplona (@ Baluarte, Palacio de Congresos y Auditorio de Navarra) (Piotr Paleczny, piano, Antoni Wit, conductor- could this be a sign of a new recording planned?) - and his overture for orchestra, @ Warsaw Philharmonic Concert Hall on April 27 & 28, with the Warsaw Philharmonic conducted by Paweł Kapuła.

(Late classical/early Romantic/definitely unsung: a rare live performance of Ferdinand Ries' first symphony on March 24th @ Alice Tully Hall, New York City.)

May I bring to your attention an excellent series featuring some of Canada's most outstanding string players.

5 At The First Chamber Players
    String Extravaganza VII

Yehonatan Berick & Csaba Koczo, violin
Caitlin Boyle & Theresa Rudolph, viola
Alastair Eng & Rachel Mercer, cello

Program includes:
Arensky String Quartet No. 2 in a minor for violin, viola & 2 celli
Dohnanyi String Sextet in B flat major

Saturday, March 31, 2018 @ 3:00 pm
First Unitarian Church
170 Dundurn Street South
Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
Title: Re: New thread for upcoming interesting 2018 Romantic unsung concerts
Post by: eschiss1 on Saturday 03 March 2018, 00:12
Neat, another performance of Dohnanyi's early string sextet!
Another work by Arensky- his piano quintet- will be performed, along with (I assume the later version of, though they have "H 49" which means the earlier??) Frank Bridge's piano quintet, on March 9th in London @ Regent Hall.
Arensky's string quartet no.2 is being performed also @ the Tonhalle Maag in Zürich on March 12th (with Enesco's lovely and ebullient (not to mention just a bit wonderfully zany) string octet, and Sandor Veress' string trio) - and the Arensky again on March 17th @ the Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center, Great Barrington Massachusetts (US) with the -first- quartet of Tchaikovsky and the -third- of Shostakovich (in numerical order, it seems- Tchaik 1, Arens 2, Shost 3. I've only heard the Shostakovich live of those three, I believe- not positive.)  (Then his -quintet- gets another airing @ the Jupiter Symphony Chamber Players' March 19 concert with Grechaninov's first clarinet sonata and other works (Shostakovich first trio, Glière 3rd sextet) but I believe I've mentioned that. Great series, theirs.) Anyhow, good year for Arensky fans.

(I was thinking it must be some sort of anniversary. Maybe. Yesterday -was- the 100th anniversary of Emil Sjögren's death...)

I just saw that Atterberg's symphony #4 ("Sinfonia piccola") is being given what appears to be its U.S. premier in West St. Paul, Minnesota by the East Metro Symphony Orchestra this Sunday, May 20th, with a second performance in Minneapolis on Wednesday, May 23rd.

Also on the program is Alfvén's Swedish Rhapsody #1 ("Midsommarvaka"), as well as some music by contemporary composers.

(The East Metro Symphony Orchestra is a community orchestra based in the Twin Cities area.)

Our local symphony Orchestra (Argovia Philharmonic) has in 2018/2019 several concerts with British Music. The reason is that Douglas Bostock will leave the orchestra after 18 years.
Some really unsung compositions: Pagan Symphony (Bantock), Organ Sonata (Elgar, instr. Jacob), Symphonic Variations (Parry) and in Switzerland also seldom heard The Sea  (Bridge), In a Summer Garden (Delius), Somerset Rhapsody (Holst), The Perfect Fool (Ballet Music, Holst)

The Zemlinsky btw is definitely one of his later works (though I actually somewhat - though not always (one wants to hear what one wants to hear, when one wants to hear it) - prefer those later works, the last two string quartets for example...)
Cras' string trio (in A) dates from spring 1926. (I'm told it's quite a good work.)

Several other Caplet works are being performed, including the same 1908 Masque of the Red Death (Le masque de la mort rouge, not Le mort de la masque rouge)- based on Poe's story - August 26 @ Abbatiale Saint-Robert, Place de l'Echo, La Chaise-Dieu, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France (https://bachtrack.com/concert-listing/abbatiale-saint-robert/danses-pour-harpe/26-august-2018/21-00).

I just found that the Northampton Symphony Orchestra in the UK will be playing Charles Villiers Stanford's 6th Symphony (In Memoriam G.F. Watts) on June 16th. Short notice, but perhaps it will be of interest to those in the area. One of Stanford's best works, in my view.

I noticed (for the first time today) that Stanford's 6th received a (limited, and first) publication a few years ago btw (private publication by Scott Miller, 2003). Interesting. (His first and second remain in manuscript, iirc, but now the rest have been published in some way.)

From 30 June to 17 July, Jan van Gilse's opera Thijl is being performed in Soesterberg, the Netherlands (near Utrecht). More information, and ticketing info, through this web site www.thijl2018.nl (http://www.thijl2018.nl/) for tickets and more information. This is not the once planned version by the Orkest van het Oosten and David Porcelijn, which also recorded the symphonies for cpo. Rather, it appears to be a frightfully ambitious student orchestra.

Interesting miscellany with Rabl's piano quartet and brief works by others (Röntgen-Maier, Brahms, others) in Stockholm on August 17th  - see this description. (https://bachtrack.com/concert-listing/allhelgonakyrkan/brahms-and-his-friends-day-2/17-august-2018/18-00)
The Rimsky-Korsakov and his World concerts contain a performance of Blumenfeld and Cui piano works on August 18th - see Program 8 (https://bachtrack.com/concert-listing/olin-auditorium-at-bard-college/rimsky-korsakov-and-his-world-weekend-ii-aug-17-19-program-eight/18-august-2018/13-30) (Annandale-on-Hudson, NY, USA.) (Including Rimsky's Mozart and Salieri too- with Stravinsky conducting? I assume that's a recording...)
A mixed program (early Szymanowski - concert overture, Mendelssohn's E minor violin concerto, and Weinberg's 4th symphony) - on September 15 in Warsaw and Sep. 16 in Bydgoszcz (see here (https://bachtrack.com/concert-listing/filharmonia-warmian-mazurian/warsaw-philharmonic-orchestra-in-olsztyn/15-september-2018/13-00).)

Berwald symphony 3 @ Vienna Sep.22, 23 - concerts (https://bachtrack.com/concert-listing/musikverein-grosser-saal/1-abonnementkonzert/22-september-2018/15-30).
Skalkottas' Return of Odysseus (1940, but not, iirc, one of his more "modern" works) is being performed in Berlin on October 8 - another link (https://bachtrack.com/concert-listing/berlin-state-opera-unter-den-linden/abonnementkonzert-i/08-october-2018/19-30).

Buffalo, NY (sort of near me, @ Kleinhans Music Hall) there's a program October 27& 28 with Tchaikovsky's 3rd symphony but also Paderewski's piano concerto and an excerpt from Nowowiejski, Quo vadis (a Praetorian March)...

On November 7th in Bournemouth there's a concert with Glière's early (1908) symphonic poem The Sirens and works by Turnage and Prokofiev.

Yes, and unfortunately, the Royal Scottish National Orchestra will be on tour in the US and playing the same day in Tucson. Now I have to choose one over the other. Depends on what the RNSO is playing. But just to hear them once, after so many wonderful CDs I've bought, from Sir Alexander Gibson to Neeme Jarvi and beyond, is so tempting.

A bit of a dilemma. But to hear Reinecke 2 live...

MusicaNova has a channel on YouTube so maybe the pieces you mention will be there someday, some interesting pieces there, such as Jacopo Fischer's 7th symphony, also Warren Cohen's son is a composer and only a teen and his Dad plays his pieces, some works of Graham's on there from when he was maybe 10 or younger, not for this forum, though tonal and well done, but interesting always to hear these prodigies' works. (Hoping for Alma Deutscher's piano concerto sometime).

I've heard some of Mr. Ficher's works as played by the orchestra on the channel, iirc, among other things. Good music, anycase.

A bit of additional searching turns up some more things that interest (me...) : an Air arabe by the -very- rarely performed Heinrich Molbe (Heinrich Freiherr von Bach) is in an October 14 Bamberg concert (https://bachtrack.com/concert-listing/konzerthalle-bamberg-joseph-keilberth-saal/kammerkonzert/14-october-2018/17-00) (with works by Reinecke, Poulenc and Damase.)

Not sure if mentioned, but Reger's Hiller Variations and Lalo's cello concerto are in a concert September 9 @ Cologne (https://bachtrack.com/concert-listing/philharmonie/gurzenich-orchestra-gala-concert-at-the-opening-of-the-season/09-september-2018/11-00); Reger's Lyric Andante gets heard in Sydney on September 22 (https://bachtrack.com/concert-listing/sydney-opera-house-utzon-room/cocktail-hour/22-september-2018/18-00); his Mozart variations (orchestral form) in Oxford November 14 (https://bachtrack.com/concert-listing/ashmolean-museum/variations/14-november-2018/19-30) ; his 5th string quartet (with more modern works) @ Hamburg on April 10 2019 (https://bachtrack.com/concert-listing/laeiszhalle-kleiner-saal/nathan-quartett/10-april-2019/20-00) and Stenhammar's cantata Sången on June 1st in Stockholm (conducted by Blomstedt (https://bachtrack.com/concert-listing/max-reger-halle/herbert-blomstedt-brso/01-june-2019/18-00).)

Also interesting and very soon, on August 14th in Warsaw, a concert (https://bachtrack.com/concert-listing/teatr-wielki/symphonic-concert/14-august-2018/20-00) of Mozart, Danzi, Cramer (piano concerto no.2 in D minor) and ETA Hoffmann (symphony in E-flat). The day before (https://bachtrack.com/concert-listing/teatr-wielki-redutowe-rooms/chamber-concert/13-august-2018/17-00) (early evening tomorrow) in perhaps the same series of concerts we have a performance of one of Dobrzyński's string quintets. On the 28th (https://bachtrack.com/concert-listing/teatr-wielki/chamber-concert/28-august-2018/17-00) in the same place, Zarebski's piano quintet :)

September 24th: Dohnányi's 3rd string quartet (https://bachtrack.com/concert-listing/musikverein-brahms-saal/kuchl-quartett/24-september-2018/18-30) in Vienna.

December 3rd: Korngold's 3rd string quartet (https://bachtrack.com/concert-listing/wigmore-hall/escher-string-quartet/03-december-2018/19-30) in London.

Taneyev's Ioann Damaskin / St John of Damascus cantata is performed 9 October 2018 in St Petersburg (https://bachtrack.com/concert-listing/teatr-wielki/symphonic-concert/14-august-2018/20-00).

October 3 in Blythburgh - possibly the world premiere of 2 string quartets from 1931 (https://bachtrack.com/concert-listing/holy-trinity-church-800/chamber-music-concert/03-october-2018/10-30) by William Alwyn

Just returned from Musica Nova playing the Parry 3rd. It was a wonderful concert: Debussy's Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun, then the Prokofieff 1st violin concert. Next came a new piece by a young composer based on 6 & 5. The notes were more mathematical than musical. Interesting; he has a future scoring horror movies.

Then the Parry. Like any music, hearing it played live is totally different from recordings, no matter how good that cd may be. It was finely paced, well played other than a couple of cracks in the brass. The string complement was small: 7-7-5-5-2, but it gave a clarity to the writing that is obscured with larger groups, especially the London Philharmonic recording. The fatal flaw in this symphony is the finale: it's a lovely set of theme and variations, but the drama, angst and tension one expects in a romantic-era symphony are missing. Nonetheless, it was a very enjoyable half hour and I'm so grateful for having been able to hear it. The audience was pitifully small: around 100 or so. Lack of promotion? No interest in classical, especially the obscure? Very sad. So-called music lovers who didn't go missed fine concert. It was recorded, so maybe Warren Cohen will have it posted on YouTube sometime. So now I've checked off another composer on my list of things to hear live. Another will happen in two weeks when finally I get to hear the Elgar 2nd live - something many of you probably take for granted. Then Musica Nova gives us Reinecke in the spring! Another check off!

Also, I left out the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic (https://bachtrack.com/concert-listing/konserthuset-stockholm-stora-salen/royal-stockholm-philharmonic-with-lahav-shani/14-november-2018/19-00) with Farrenc's 2nd overture just a week (Nov.14) from now.

Also saw Schmidt's 2nd in Graz Austria listed (on the general website; different orchestra) but that's _next_ year...

Re MusicaNova, they seem not to have posted to the YouTube channel I'm aware of for most of a year, though of course I too hope this will change.

Still a 2018 concert: December 17, in New York City: the Jupiter Symphony Chamber Players (https://bachtrack.com/concert-listing/good-shepherd-faith-presbyterian-church/jupiter-symphony-chamber-players-romanticism-3-ways/17-december-2018/14-00) perform Robert Fuchs' trio for violin, viola and piano (op.115).
