Rubinstein Overtures

[JimL]

Does anybody have any recordings of the Triumphal Overture and/or the Concert Overture Op. 65 by Anton Rubinstein that aren't commercially available they would be willing to share?

[EdwardHan]

The triumphal overture was released by MDG.

Unfortunately I can't find it for download anywhere.  And the Concert Overture, Op. 65 doesn't seem to be available commercially.  I was just wondering if anybody had a broadcast performance of either one available.

you might have better luck searching for it under opus 60 (the concert overture's real no.) - opus 65 is the first cello concerto. I emphasize may, not will...

Duh!  I knew that!  I have the cello concertos!    I meant 60.

Maybe if MDG ever continues that series past volume 2, the Concert Overture in B-flat will show up...

What I want to know is when will it show up on Amazon or ArkivMusic as a download?

Not a mistake to be ashamed of, Jim. MDG thinks it's op. 63 

[JimL]

I think they have it conflated with the Op. 43 Triumphal Overture.  Let me check up to make sure.

Nope.  MDG has the Triumphal Overture, properly labelled as Op. 43.

And I've found the Dmitri Donskoy Overture on Classicsonline available for download.

_Effectively_ a concert overture unless someone finds the rest of that first opera of the composer's, most or all of which is missing or destroyed, I gather.
