Noticed this thread was asleep, and also noticed that a suite by d'Albert (Cinderella/Aschenputtel , op33) (Markus Frank conducting the Loh Orchester Sondershausen) was being performed in Sondershausen late this month - I can't be there, but it seemed worth the pointing out...
Oh, and also Järvi with another Atterberg symphony (no.5) in Gothenburg this January :) (with one of Haydn's less performed later symphonies, no.77, and Mozart's Sinfonia Concertante (for string soloists).)
In the halls of the Cracow Philharmonic (chamber concert), October 12 2013, in their schedule, I see listed just Zarebski, Taneev. The former I'm guessing is his piano quintet in G minor. The latter could be - a string chamber work, the piano trio, quartet, quintet - doesn't say. :)
(Bachtrack.com does list a performance in New York of the Zarebski piano quintet, to be given by the Jupiter Symphony Chamber Players, 3 March 2014, with works by Jadassohn (serenade, Op.80), Paderewski, Minuet in G major, Op.14 no.1 (arranged by Eugene Gruenberg for string quartet)
Dobrzyński, Andante e Rondo alla Polacca, Op.42 (for flute and piano, the piano part transcribed by Stefan Kisielewski) and
Chopin's Grande Polonaise Brillante in E flat (arranged by Bartłomiej Kominek for piano quintet).
(They also list a performance of Taneev's piano quintet elsewhere - 27 October 2013, King's Place : Hall One, London, "London Chamber Music Society presents: Martinů Quartet with Olga Vinokur (Piano)", Mozart Piano quartet no.1, Martinů string quartet no.2, Taneev's quintet in G minor. See Bachtrack (http://www.bachtrack.com/find-a-concert/what/composer=5514-taneyev) e.g.)
Also Stenhammar's 5th string quartet will be played the 23rd of this month by the Oslo String Quartet (in a concert of works by Mozart (first movement only of K.458), Stenhammar, Johanssohn, and ABBA) (ah well) (part of the Fartein Valen festival; hopefully one of his quartets too shows up during the festival but getting back to the point) (in Haugesund and Sveio, Norway, at noon and 2pm on the same day - ... that's interesting.)
This could be good: the Brodsky Quartet plays Zemlinsky (the __very__ Romantic, Brahmsian (it reminds me of some Dvorak quartets too) quartet no.1 Op.4 in A major- not a hint of his later quizzicalness about this early work) and Beethoven's "least bad" work, his quartet (No.14) in C-sharp minor (now I have heard this live, and I am glad to be able to say that anyway- it is among the very favorite things for me in music...) - 13 October 2013, St Stephen's, Rosslyn Hill, London. Wonder if Radio 3 will broadcast? :) (part of the Hampstead Arts Festival (http://www.bachtrack.com/about/hampstead-arts-festival) (link to Bachtrack description, will find another link also...))
Redux in the literal sense, on 30th August, in Stresa, Italy, in a wonderful outdoor venue, I heard Berwald's Septet, performed by the Nash Ensemble (alongside Schubert and Beethoven).
Ludwig Meinardus, "König Salomo" (1863), in Moers, on October 13, 2013. (Hopefully this link isn't just a temporary session-id thing...) description in German. (http://www.moers.de/C12572D6004DD690/0/CE63E3A2757BECC5C1257B55001B83DF?opendocument)
Vocal Score (http://imslp.org/wiki/K%C3%B6nig_Salomo,_Op.25_%28Meinardus,_Ludwig_Siegfried%29), at IMSLP.
Also, Stenhammar Romances and Lindblad symphony 2 (with Andrée's Andante quasi recitativo and a modern work), (Tobias Ringborg as conductor and/or violinist?) - March 22 & 23 2014, Jonkopings Sinfonietta, Jonkoping, Spira. (See Ringborg's 2013-14 concert schedule. (http://www.tobiasringborg.com/?page_id=520))
The Jupiter Chamber Players series continues with works by Lachner (Ignaz), "Die gute Alte Zeit" string trio Op.77; Fibich (piano and wind and string quintet, Op.42); and Mozart's "Linz" symphony as arranged by Hummel for chamber ensemble, next Monday the 14th in New York City - Good Shepherd-Faith Presbyterian Church, New York City, NY, 2pm and 7:30 pm Eastern Daylight Time. :)
(Jupiter Symphony (http://www.jupitersymphony.com/))
Apologies if the following have been mentioned, or if they're considered too sung (I shouldn't think so... maybe by this forum's standards :) )
Gade's string quintet will be in a concert in Berlin (at the Nordische Botschaften?) on November 14th (with better-known works by Franck and Debussy.)
Vierne's piano quintet in Paris (Opéra Bastille), March 26 2014...

Ooh, and Stenhammar "2nd" symphony being brought on tour conducted by Herbert Blomstedt various places...
Spohr's Die letzten Dinge is on HR 2 (Hessischer Rundfunk) tonight from 20.05 to 23.05 CET, a recording of the concert from 3 November 2013 with the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen.
Marc-Andre Hamelin will do the Medtner Sonata in E minor, Op. 25, #2, at Smith College in Northampton, MA, on Friday, January 24. I'll be there. It will be interesting to see the audience reaction. (For history buffs, Smith was the site of Rachmaninoff's American debut in 1909.)
There's a few interesting-ish (maybe) ones here and there-
*the Zelenski piano concerto's being performed today (the 28th) in Poznan, for instance.
*Franz Schmidt 2nd symphony in Milan Mar. 13 & 16 (Wayne Marshall/Sym. Milan Verdi), in London RAM Duke's Hall Mar. 28 (Bychkov/Academy SO), in Madrid Auditorio Nacional de Musica April 11-13 (Bychkov/Spanish National SO), Vienna Musikverein April 17-19 (Bychkov/Vienna PO).
*Paul Graener's prelude "Feierliche Stunde" Op.106 in April a few times in Dusseldorf.
Interesting to see Bychkov taking up the Schmidt 2nd. That's a good sign. After the death of his brother, Yakov Kleinberg, who loved the 4th, I was afraid there wasn't anyone left to promote Schmidt's symphonies. Hope he brings the 2nd to the studio and to a concert hall in the US.
QuoteYakov Kleinberg
I'm sure you had Yakov
Kreizberg in mind - don't worry: I had to check the spelling myself. Didn't know he was Bychkov's brother, though.
I think Kreizberg was his mother's maiden name from what I can gather from a few online sources hastily checked (Wikipedia, obituary in the Telegraph, etc.)
QuoteInteresting to see Bychkov taking up the Schmidt 2nd. That's a good sign. After the death of his brother, Yakov Kleinberg, who loved the 4th, I was afraid there wasn't anyone left to promote Schmidt's symphonies. Hope he brings the 2nd to the studio and to a concert hall in the US.
On February 27 and 28, the HR Orchester (former RSO Frankfurt) performed Schmidt's Third, conducted by Paavo Järvi. Number two is to follow next year, I'm told.
You don't go to the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center expecting to hear unsung Romantic repertoire (at least I don't) but there are a few novelties listed for the upcoming season:
Chausson: Trio, op. 3, 11/16/14
Taffanel: Wind Quintet of 1876, 11/18/14
Nielsen: Quartet No. 4 (played by the Danish String Quartet, naturally) 2/20/15
Vierne: Piano Quintet, Op.42 (1917-18), 11/13/14
and a great cello recital by Gary Hoffman (1/22/15), where Saint-Saens C minor is actually the most familiar item!
Saint-Saens: Cello Sonata No.1
Magnard: Cello Sonata in A
Boellmann: Cello Sonata Op.40
Best, David
Hi all,
In Freiburg (Germany) there is going to be a great concert by the »Holst Sinfonietta« (they for instance recorded the »Stumme Serenade« by Korngold for cpo and performed Vivier's »Kopernikus« last year). It is a »birthday celebration« for Shakespeare.
20 March 2014:
WILHELM KILLMAYER (*1927)
Shakespeare-Lieder (1955)
für Tenor, Klarinette, Violine, Fagott, Klavier und Schlagzeug
DOMINICK ARGENTO (*1927)
Six Elizabethan Songs (1958/62)
für Tenor and Barockensemble
ERICH WOLFGANG KORNGOLD (1897-1957)
Shakespeares »Viel Lärm um Nichts« op. 11 (1918/19)
Vollständige Bühnenmusik für Tenor und Kammerorchester
Uraufführung der Fassung mit Zwischentexten von Cornelius Bauer
I hope to be there, especially the entire Korngold incidental music for "much ado about nothing" is very interesting i think.
Sebastian
Looks like quite a few Shakespeare-themed classical concerts this year (probably not many with unsung music, of course, Classical-era or earlier or Romantic or E2c(entury) or Modernish, as with concert-scheduling in general; but anyway.) There's another I notice in Kuhmo, Finland with Shakespeare-themed songs and chamber works etc. by Chausson, Beethoven (an arr. of the Coriolan overture), Piazzola, Kim Borg, Sibelius, & others, on July 19th - I'm nowhere near, but that could be interesting...
(And Bachtrack.com lists 3 different concerts with works by Albéric Magnard (the piano quintet 2x - in April and August, different performers, + Hymne à la Justice - in November in Cincinnati Ohio!...) - this gives cheer. ... anyhow. :)
American Symphony Orchestra and Maestro Botstein will not dust off many Romantic rarities next year, but they will present Max von Schillings' famously lurid opera Mona Lisa at Carnegie Hall on 2/20/15 and their 4/19/15 Carnegie program includes Horatio Parker's cantata The Dream King and his Love...a novelty if there ever was one.
David
Tonight:
concert with piano works by Clara Schumann, Joseph Jongen, Czerny, Field, Fauré, etc. (@St James's Church, Piccadilly, London. Partially unsung, partially not. Pianist is Daniel Grimwood.) (Other Jongen works, including his Symphonic Movements, later in the year, I see.)
Hrm. Also tonight: a concert in Dublin at the National Concert Hall with (copying-and-pasting from bachtrack.com - sorry!...)
"Stanford, Song of the Soul (European première)
Elgar, Enigma Variations on an Original Theme for Orchestra, Op.36
Coleridge-Taylor, The Song of Hiawatha, Op.30: Hiawatha's Wedding Feast
David Hill, Conductor
Kim Begley, Tenor
RTÉ Philharmonic Choir
RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra"
The Coleridge-Taylor is by far his best-known work but the Stanford is hardly a mainstay, so, there's that to recommend it...
When I was living in NY, I loved going to the CMS concerts. There were often unsung composers on the programs. Dohnanyi seems to be a constant, with music by him every season. I just wish they would play more American composers, like Arthur Foote.
BTW the Jupiter Symphony Chamber Players (NYC) season finale is this Monday (works by Chausson, Reicha and Franck). They do have a summer season with concerts including e.g. Eggert's string sextet in F minor (July 14th, with works by Kraus and Schubert). (Jupitersymphony.com (http://www.jupitersymphony.com/).)
Even more Korngold in Freiburg!
Though it seems to be on its way to be rediscovered, performances are still not very regular:
The Freiburger Stadttheater will take up Korngold's "Die Tote Stadt" next season. Furthermore, they have "Die Königin von Saba" (the Queen of Sheba) by Karl Goldmark in upcoming season's schedule.
In their philharmonic concerts, Freiburg's opera orchestra will perform
Dukas' symphony on 28 April 2015
Goldmark's Violin Concerto and some of Goldmark's Chamber music on 19 May 2015
Atterberg's Horn Concerto on 27 January 2015
Quite a season for lovers of more or less unsung romantic stuff!
ewk
Big "Medtner Day" concert early afternoon (1pm local time?) at Guildhall School of Music and Drama, Lecture Recital Room, London on May 22nd, I see. (If Medtner is no longer considered within our boundaries, apologies...)
Some others: ...
(1) Szymanowski's early, "Straussian" concert overture in E major Op.12 (December 3, Royal Festival Hall, London. With Szymanowski's Stabat Mater and works by Lutoslawski)
(2) The same concert overture (May 23 2014? 2015?, Concertgebouw: Main Hall, Amsterdam, with Beethoven symphony 5 and a new work by Francesconi) (... ah. Bachtrack says May 23, Concertgebouw.nl (http://www.concertgebouw.nl/concerten/aansprekende-weerbarstigheid-beethoven-naast-francesconi) says May 23 2015. :D One really ought to try, not to rely, on just one source and one only, Eric chappie. - Hrm, poetaster much?... Ouch.)
(3) Pierné piano concerto (February 26 2015, Maison de Radio France, Paris) (with well-known works by Bizet and Saint-Saëns)
(4) Interesting, interesting, intriguing looking Enescu/Rachmaninoff program at Royal Festival Hall, London (February 7 2015) - Enescu symphony 3, Rachmaninoff Cantata "Spring" and his 3 Russian Songs. Probably also at the edge of our new circle at best, though I plead the weak "I seem to recall that a number of people here besides me _really_ admire/enjoy/are enthralled by the Enescu" (that's not exactly an, erm, iconic phrase...) excuse... (I hope it's broadcast on BBC R3 :))
ewk:
actually, there's several performances of Korngold chamber works upcoming soon... - the piano quintet (Dresden, June 5 and Worcester (Three Choirs Festival), July 30), piano trio (St. John Smith Square, London, July 5), string sextet (S.J.S.S., London, July 8)... also the Sinfonietta (in Bergen, April 2015), a single movement (??????) from the Symphonic Serenade (several times, several places in several countries (aka "on tour") within several days, in September 2014, Candida Thompson/Amsterdam Sinfonietta. Janine Jansen plays violin solo in Vivaldi and, if there's a violin solo in the Korngold movement, I presume in that too...)
BTW the Enescu 3 in London concert (Feb.2015) is mentioned as being a London premiere at the Romanian Festival website. Didn't know that. Given how much is required for the work, not too surprised, but interested. I think a fair number of his other works have been performed in London even fairly recently- the 2nd symphony iirc?- and this is of... "academic interest" to me since I've only been to London twice in my life (for a week apiece, 1993 and 1999- though I mean to go again. I did mean to go a couple of years ago.) - but - anyway... hrm!... hope it's a good performance, anyway; I don't listen to the piece often, I admit, though I'm always glad I do.
Quote"I seem to recall that a number of people here besides me _really_ admire/enjoy/are enthralled by the Enescu"
In at least one case, you remember correctly! There's an interesting photo of Bax, Szymanowski, and Roussel sitting together at a contemporary music festival in the early 1920s (somewhat beyond the period of this forum, so apologies). I can easily imagine Enescu joining them. Bartok (then in his thorniest period) went on record as admiring Bax's 1924 Piano Quartet. He must surely have enjoyed also Enescu's most mature works, dating from the 1930s and later.
QuoteHoratio Parker's cantata The Dream King and his Love...a novelty if there ever was one.
Yes, and one can't help wondering if IMSLP might have something to do with Botstein's knowledge of the score. For this reason, Eric, I hope someone will be stimulated to upload what some consider Foote's best choral work, The Wreck of the Hesperus, opus 17.
I forget if these have been mentioned in this thread...
Enjoyed the Mozart/Krommer/Dvorak concert I went to a few weeks ago (yay again, Jupiter Symphony Chamber Players of New York City.) Anyhow, Daniel Barenboim will be conducting the 2nd of Max Reger's 2 Gesänge Op.144 (his Requiem) in Salzburg (at the Festspielhaus) on Wednesday (half of a concert that is part of a Bruckner series- so the other half of the concert is a performance of Bruckner sym. 4).
One of my favorite Medtner songs ("When Roses Fade"/"Лишь розы увядают.", no.3 of 6 Poems after Pushkin, Op.36, 1915; I have a recording with the composer at the piano once available on an EMI CD... - one can hear that recording in mp3 here (http://www.russianartsong.com/medtner.html)*) will be part of a Medtner/Rachmaninoff program - tomorrow, I think - (vocal and piano solo) - at St. Bride's Church, Fleet Street, London (see this listing at Bachtrack.com (http://bachtrack.com/concert-listing/st-brides-church-fleet-street/lunchtime-recital-genevieve-usher-soprano-and-chris-crocker-piano/22-july-2014/13-15) e.g.)
Josef Suk's Meditation on an Old Czech Hymn "St Wenceslas" will be performed on July 26th at the Christopher Cohan Center for the Performing Arts, San Luis Obispo, California, USA.
Taneev's string trio in D major is scheduled to be performed in a concert August 1, at
Benaroya Hall, Nordstrom Recital Hall, Seattle (Washington, US). (Beethoven Op.11 and Brahms string quintet no.1 besides.)
A program of Schubert and Anselm Hüttenbrenner piano works in NY City (also August 1), @ Lincoln Center: Stanley H Kaplan Penthouse.
August 7 @ Allhelgonakyrkan, Stockholm sees a program of Gubaidulina, Beethoven and Medtner again (his piano sonata no.9 opus 30 in A minor, "War Sonata".) (Another concert, orchestral, a few days earlier, sandwiches Aulin's 3rd violin concerto between 2 very well-known works, I should add...)
An interesting-looking concert August 8 @Prieuré de Marcevol, Marcevol called Darkness in Europe, 1913-1918 has:
Stephan, Grotesque for violin and piano (1911)
Debussy, Cello sonata in D minor (1915)
Berg, Four pieces for clarinet and piano, Op.5 (1913)
Magnard, Quintet in D minor for piano, flute, oboe, clarinet and bassoon, Op.8
*(I see several I don't know there at that link too (and another favorite, Op.29/6, The Rose). I think I'll spend a little while then...; having spent quite awhile and then awhile with that memorable CD mostly of his songs, I do think I've come to love it... so- more? Yes please. :) )
Ooh, and I missed, I did,
Ferdinand Hiller: piano quartet no.3 in A minor
(Jupiter Symphony Chamber Players, NYC, NY, USA, October 27 2014;
Robert Kahn piano quartet no.2, same location, December 15 2014;
Gyorgy Catoire piano trio in F minor, etc., January 5 2015;
Henry Hadley piano quintet, March 2 2015;
Franz Lachner nonet, March 16;
Hans Huber piano quintet op.136 (?), March 30;
Ludwig Thuille piano quintet no.2, May 4...
(and other things of varying interest to varying people. I've gone to two of their concerts and enjoyed both.)
See Jupiter Symphony 2014-15 Calendar (http://www.jupitersymphony.com/Calendar.htm).
Yes, I too have been to several of their concerts and the quality of performance is uniformly high. If you are an enthusiast for unsung chamber music and you can get to New York, they really are a must. Highly recommended.
If you can get you hands on a review of the October concert I'd love to see it posted. The Grand Quartet of Hiller is a favorite of mine, and I'd like to see what a professional critic thinks of it. Of course, if he doesn't like it, I'll blast him... ;D
Will have to keep in mind! (Er...
to be clear: when I said I missed the Hiller, I just meant that I didn't notice, not that I missed the concert, which of course hasn't happened yet :) )
Oh, the Enescu octet is programmed tonight @ Ambleside, at the Parish Church, performed by the Chilingirian Quartet or the LDSM Academy Ensemble (http://bachtrack.com/concert-listing/ambleside-parish-church/lake-district-summer-music/10-august-2014/20-00). (Arthur Bliss' piano quartet in A minor is on their program tomorrow night.) (Rudi Stephan's music for orchestra is in the Prom on August 17, along with a work by - I think the same Kelly whose variations for 2 pianos were discussed some while here!?!?...)
As noted already I think, Stenhammar sym. 2 will be performed August 23/24 @ Stockholm Concert Hall, cond. Blomstedt.
Myaskovsky quartet 13 in A minor (his last published work), in a concert September 8th at Beethoven-Haus, Bonn. :) (I love that quartet, myself. The new Borodin Quartet are the performers.) (Another concert by them in Bonn in early September will have quartets by Beethoven, Raykhelson, and Galynin.) Valery Gergiev is conducting works by Prokofiev, Janacek, and Myaskovsky (Myaskovsky: "other") on September 13th @ "De Doelen: Grote Zaal, Rotterdam", also (see Bachtrack (http://bachtrack.com/concert-listing/de-doelen-grote-zaal/1914-eastfront/13-september-2014/20-15).)
Ah, also, Laura Valborg Aulin's string quartet no.1 in F will be in a varied concert October 4 in Stockholm (see listing (http://bachtrack.com/concert-listing/stockholm-concert-hall-konserthuset-grunewaldsalen/aulin-eliasson-puccini-respighi/04-october-2014/15-00)).
btw, @ewk, besides Atterberg's horn concerto in Freiburg in January 2015, his first symphony and nocturnes from the opera Fanal will be in concert (conducted by Neeme Järvi) in Gothenburg (+Svendsen's cello concerto!) on January 14 2015, too :)
And then on the 17th, Atterberg 9 (... erm, is one permitted to mention that particularly modern Atterberg work here? :) ), + "Vittorioso" (original finale to one of the other symphonies), + two works by Sibelius (same concert hall.)
On Feb. 12 2015 at the Grieghallen (according to "Bachtrack"), a work by a sung composer, Grieg, for mentioning which apologies: his withdrawn Symphony in C minor. Still not -so- sung and overperformed in concert (though it's now been recorded a few times and well, too- I like it, especially the scherzo...) - that I want to pass over it, though. :) (+Svendsen, Saint-Saëns and Chabrier.)
Feb.26 2015: Pierné piano concerto, ONF (France- Paris?) (see here (http://concerts.radiofrance.fr/concerts/bizet-pierne-saint-saens/).) Juanjo Mena, conductor.
Taking a bit of a calculated risk with the forum's remit, but I got this from the Koechlin mailing list:
QuoteI am pleased to announce that an excellent concert will take place at the Royal Festival Hall, London, on Thursday 26 February 2015 (see on site). The Royal College of Music Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Jac van Steen, will perform excerpts from Les Heures persanes op. 65 bis for orchestra by Charles Koechlin.
Other works on the programme:
- Marche gaie by Lili Boulanger - World creation of an orchestra version by Robert Orledge of a piece found in a private collection in the USA,
- Deuxième Suite of Daphnis et Chloé by Ravel,
- Le Sacre du printemps by Stravinsky.
Furthermore, the Septuor à vents op. 165 by Koechlin will be given at the end of a programme of French Music for wind instruments at Royal College of Music, on 3 February 2015.
An addition:
On October 17th, the Gulbenkian Orchestra is to play Luís de Freitas Branco's Fourth Symphony as part of a programme that also includes Khatchaturian's Piano Concerto and Gayaneh Suite. The conductor is Pedro Neves:
http://www.musica.gulbenkian.pt/cgi-bin/wnp_db_dynamic_record.pl?dn=db_musica_season_2014_2015_pt&sn=coro_orquestra_gulbenkian&orn=35 (http://www.musica.gulbenkian.pt/cgi-bin/wnp_db_dynamic_record.pl?dn=db_musica_season_2014_2015_pt&sn=coro_orquestra_gulbenkian&orn=35)
Now, that's taking a risk with the forum's remit >:(
Ah yes, I had confused the 4th for the 2nd in my head, it seems. Oops.
Has anyone wondered whether the forum's remit has become too narrow to allow for a proper definition of the term "Romantic"? If the late works of Frank Bridge are off limits, then by extension certainly that excludes all of Khatchaturian, Schreker, and countless other composers who stylistically resided upon the edge so to speak). It seems that the concerned term's definition is tortuously bent according to the needs of the forum's moment.
I'm afraid it's inevitable that the definition is somewhat fuzzy. Given the extremely wide range of music discussed here, however - from the proto-romanticism of, say, Dussek, to late Schreker, whom we have discussed extensively on this forum - I don't think it can be argued that our remit is too narrow. As to whether the definition is "tortuously bent according to the needs of the forum's moment", we plead guilty and ask for tolerance of the subjective judgments involved.
Well, with prose so considered and elegant, who could resist!
Thanks for your forbearance, John. Your presence here as conductor and soloist is, of course, of immense value to us.

This was pointed out to me yesterday. Only 10 miles from me.
Anyone for a bit of Henselt??
Thal
Here are the details of the five concerts:
http://brenchleyproms.co.uk/Concerts.html (http://brenchleyproms.co.uk/Concerts.html)
Ok, sung-sort-of. The works aren't, though. The composers- one _definitely_ yes, one not so much.
Felix Mendelssohn: Piano quartet "No.0" in D minor (Q 10), 1821
Fanny Mendelssohn, Piano Quartet in A-flat major, 1822
performance September 14, 2014, 3pm at the Mendelssohnhaus, Leipzig
See link. (http://www.leipzig-im.de/index.php?section=details&auswahl=veranstaltungen&auswahl2=33844)
A good selection of unsung music being performed by the Royal Flemish Philharmonic in the next year, I see from their website (some too modern for this site, but some fits right in. Not all of it Belgian, either, not at all :) ) To choose one piece for now (just because I have to dash :( ) -
Peter Benoit's Requiem, June 20 2015, conducted by Edo de Waart. (http://www.defilharmonie.be/peter-benoits-requiem-de-kathedraal-0 (http://www.defilharmonie.be/peter-benoits-requiem-de-kathedraal-0))
(Also, a Faust-centered program with Spohr's overture as well as Liszt's symphony and Schumann's Scenes. Will fill in date after I revisit the site later. Visited the site when I noticed Martyn Brabbins, recently mentioned, was one of their conductors, but this coming year he seems mostly to be conducting a program of modern concertos from Scandinavia and elsewhere- including at least one work I think I have a recording of and like, but again- erm- right. Got it. :D )
Also, not quite sure if this fits?... but Ildebrando Pizzetti's cello concerto (in C?) is being performed November 5 & 6 ("Auditorium Rai "Arturo Toscanini"" (Rome?) in a program of Respighi, Grieg, Nielsen and Pizzetti) - see http://bachtrack.com/work/cello-concerto-in-c-major-pizzetti (http://bachtrack.com/work/cello-concerto-in-c-major-pizzetti).
The Auditorium "Arturo Toscanini" is in Torino, where Toscanini conducted (mostly in his early days) more than 300 concerts.
IMO the Pizzetti Cello Concerto is decidedly romantic (and I have just a recorded broadcast by Mainardi and Giulini old about 50 years, maybe more). Here performs abitually the "Italiano Radio and Television Orchestra".
Sorry: "The Italian Radio and Television Orchestra (Orchestra Nazionale RAI)".
4 more things-
another performance of the Suk Asrael symphony, in Vienna on Monday (10/6).

Zemlinsky's ballade Waldgespräch (1896) is in a concert in Edinburgh on November 1st (http://bachtrack.com/concert-listing/queens-hall-edinburgh/beethovens-egmont/01-november-2014/19-30).

Chris Fifield tells us:
By the way : I shall be conducting Frederic Cliffe's Coronation March (1910) and Thomas Dunhill's Symphony (1916), a fine work, on 6th December with my Lambeth Orchestra at All Saints Church, West Dulwioch, London SE21 8LN. Fenella Humphreys will play Elgar's Violin Concerto. It would be wonderful to see UK-based forum members, or worldwide members come to that!
More from the Jupiter Symphony Chamber Players in NYC:
27 April 2015: "Against Tyranny" (Theme)
Meyerbeer, Giacomo (1791-1864) Il Crociato in Egitto : O cielo clemente (for flute obligato, clarinet, violin, viola, cello)
Schulhoff, Erwin (1894-1942) 5 pieces for string quartet
Prokofiev, Sergey (1891-1953) Overture on Hebrew Themes, Op.34
Busch, Adolf 7 Bagatelles, Op.53a
Shostakovich, Dmitri (1906-1975) Piano Trio no. 2 in E minor, Op.67
Not all Romantic or unsung, though I think at least the Busch work may intrigue.

Nov.10 -Liszt, Caplet, Ibert, Ravel :)
