Also, stumbled upon this - https://www.boosey.com/cr/music/Wilhelm-Kempff-Violin-Concerto/103079
Did Kempff himself write a violin concerto in G minor, Op. 38?

I have always enjoyed his Violin concerto, Op. 25 and while reading this fascinating article on it came to realize that von Schillings wrote only 1 violin concerto and the revision [1st movement] later led it to be believed as a second work. As for the Piano Concerto - It seems a misattribution of Welhelm Kempff's own piano concerto, "Totentanz" Op. 37
More details here. https://repertoire-explorer.musikmph.de/prefaces/4639.html

How and where can I purchase the disk featuring the 1st symphony?

Finally, a completion to the Natanael Berg Symphony Cycle.  No.s 4 & 5 by Norrköping Symphony Orchestra, Ari Rasilainen.

Has there been any success in locating parts of the 2nd Violin Concerto?

I always thought Flor Alpaerts' charming Pallieter was a Symphony, but it turns out, it's a Symphonic poem; yet his work list mentions a Lentesymfonie.

Equally exciting although a very different interpretation as to that by Hough. I'm not sure how to explain it, give it a spin. I'm not a fan of the Chandos one, especially the 4th; but that set takes the cake for arguably the best version of the 2nd concerto [C minor]. I haven't yet heard Laurence Jeanningros recording of PC 1 & 2 on Centaur. There is a recording of PC 1 by Seta Tanyel, which I adore for it's laidback playing, very different from Marc-André Hamelin and Earl Wild's take.

This concerto needs to be on the concert platform; It's sure to be a crowd pleaser. Did anyone see the audience reaction at the end - Standing ovation and rightly so! What magnificent music.

Didn't Stephen Hough himself do a concert performance (not sure if it was before or after the momentous Hyperion recording of 94?!

Finally, a live concert performance with pianist François Du Toit and Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Victor Yampolsky.

has her work ever been catalogued?

Would the sadly ignored Rufinatscha qualify as an 'instanding' composer?

Unfortunately, the same forces

It seems Simon Callaghan is to record this month, in addition to Reinecke's Piano Concerto No. 3 & Konzertstück, but Sauer's Piano Concerto No. 2 as well.

With so many discussions going on about Requiem's and other Choral works, I thought I'd share a truly magical work, I came across a few months ago by a contemporary composer who writes in a completely tonal idiom. Here's his Sunrise Mass. Looking forward to hearing what the other UC members think about this...
