Biographies of Unknown Composers

 Featured on the Spanish website: www.reciclassicat.com:

Biographies in English of many unknown 19th century composers together with lists of their works.

A brief download includes an Overture ( The Ghost of Voyvode) by Ludwik Grossman.

This is a very interesting read.  Most of these composers were just names to me.  It makes one realise just how much music is waiting to be rediscovered.

Indeed, fascinating. Thanks!

Much more than I ever realized

On the same website, you can find a similar list of 18th Century composers, many of whom lived well into the 19th Century.
More downloads too.

I'm looking forward to their next possible/probable list of early 20th Century unsungs.

BTW, this is a great site for downloads of rarities with no viral problems... at least none that I've encountered so far.
