Hi all,
this might just as well been posted in the unsung concerts thread, but as this will result in video recordings, I put this here – admins might of course relocate it if deemed appropriate.

I received the 2021/22 Digital Concert Hall programme today and was relatively pleased – probably all of the pieces present in CD recordings, but all these works are performed live at the Philharmonie Berlin (and as live stream of course) which might be a rare thing to happen, and will end up as a (video) recording with a top orchestra.

Chausson's Symphony on 25 Sept
John Williams: Elegy for Cello and Orchestra (under the composer's baton) – I was first unsure about the idiom, but some minutes in, it evolves quite late-romantic (at least not less than e.g. Korngold's cello concerto): 16 Oct
Korngold: "Much ado about nothing" Overture: 31 Dec
Tschaikowski's Iolanthe – Tschaik is not unsung at all, of course, but Iolanthe is rarely performed as far as I can see: 15 Jan
Josef Suk: Lebensreife (life's ripening) op. 34: 12 Feb
Nielsen: Helios overture op. 17: 4 June
Sinigaglia: Rapsodia piemontese for violin and orchestra op. 26 + Romance for Violin and Orchestra op. 29: 11 June
Zemlinsky: Lyrische Sinfonie op. 18: 11 June (Gerhaher+Lise Davidsen)
Rued Langgaard: Symphony 1: 18 June
Ljadow: Kikimora: 25 June (Waldbühne!)

I am looking forward to see some of these, be it live or as a recorded video!

Best wishes, ewk
