HERMANN SUTER: A CATALOGUE OF THE ORCHESTRAL MUSIC
1910: Cantata "Die erste Walpurgisnacht"
1914: Symphony in D minor, op.17: 44 minutes + (Sterling cd)
1921: Violin Concerto in A major, op.23: 29 minutes + (MGB cd)
1923: Oratorio "Le Laudi di San Francesco di Assisi" for soprano, contralto, tenor, bass, chorus, organ and orchestra, op.25 * + (MGB cd)
also partsongs (3 Festlieder) for male chorus and piano (and/or?) orchestra (or a cappella) opus 14 :) (the autograph(?) vocal score of no.3 at Einsiedeln listed in RISM mentions all 3 and gives instrumentation for the orchestra. I think the orchestration originates with Suter.)
Has anyone on this forum got a recording of Suter's Violin Concerto they would be prepared to share with me, please?

Thanks, Alan. I thought the disk was deleted long ago.
This is his complete work list:

Thanks, Adriano - useful, but some op. numbers are missing, including the op. 14 songs mentioned above by Eric, so not quite complete.
You are right. Unfortunately, the two-volume Suter Biography I had in my library, is already "resting" in my pre-estate collection at the Zurich Zentralbibiothek. In that book, the list was complete.
Just last week, they came by to take 12 boxes of books and scores which I have decided not to keep anymore in my flat... Still, quite a nice bunch of such materials are still here with me - for my Desert Island...
The Suter VC would have made a much better coupling for the Schoeck VC in Hyperion's RVC series.

... that have been my thoughts too! I would really like to hear this work - one of my absolute favourite VCs - played by Chloe Hanslip!
It is also a pity that Daniel Hope's performance together with Botstein has never been released as a recording.
The manuscript scores of the Symphony and "Die erste Walpurgisnacht" were digitalized by the University Library of Basel and can be viewed here:

I didn't know that any of Basel's manuscripts could be viewed online from any source. Thanks.
Also, thanks for the link to the site, which I see also has correspondence, works by Friedrich Hegar, (guessing Hans Huber too), etc. ...
Will be spending some time having a good look around there later!!...
Tell me about the d minor symphony if you've listened to it. Adriano?
Adriano conducted the recording of it, Tom!>>>

I don't know if this has already been posted (apologies, in this case), but Das Aargauer Symphonie Orchester ( "Argovian Philharmonic" sounds to me a little funny, like the orchestra from some Lehar operetta Duchy) :) has published a bunch of videos on Youtube.
It's official videos, so HD picture and very good sound.
Among them, a 2015 live concert with the Suter symphony. conducted by Douglas Bostock.
For the first time I was very taken with the music , which I had previously found a little overwhelming (even if I need more time to really grasp the finale) ..I went to buy the cd right away,

It has. Try this thread:

It would be of immense help if friends would do a search before posting. Saves time and effort on the part of those who maintain this site...
ops..I actually did some searching, but not deep or attentive enough, it seems...sorry..
Not to worry. You have to search the whole site...
