In regards Paul Caro (1859-1914)

[Alan Howe]

I have rarely met such wonderful generosity of spirit in an unfamiliar composer and I'm still wondering whether this was Bruckner's real legacy.

(there are 183 entries):

Yes, Alan, but only 104 are music scores. The rest are records for works by authors who have "Paul" or "Caro" in their names and have nothing to do with music, as far as I can see. Still 104 is encouraging.

[Alan Howe]

Oops, apologies. I shouldn't have been speed-searching for the symphonies.

My copy of the Gramola 2-CD set arrived today. As far as I can judge, Caro really is the stand-out composer featured here. Not that there's nothing else of interest, but Caro's lyricism is so beguiling that it's hard not to be attracted back to his music. I'd be tempted to dub him 'Cantabile Caro', but I suspect someone's already thought of that or something like it.

SPMK has uploaded what appears to be the whole of Hommage à Paul Caro to YT. It's beautiful music.
