I did a research all over this topic....nobody mentioned Catoire...I think his piano concerto op. 21 is a superrachmaninoffian piano concerto!!!

Can we think to Grieg's a minor piano concerto as a prequel of rachmaninov first PC (first version, think to the accords before the orchestral TUTTI at the end of the exposition....)...what about Rosza? Spellbound Piano Concerto?

hi, what do you think about Tchaikovsky's Manfred?

About Mendelssohn -Moscheles piano & orchestra piece, I remember a set of variotions on a theme from Weber's Preciosa.
I remember a recording of it played by Paratore brothers.
bye Andrea

there is also a recording by Marco Vincenzi, Dynamic
about 15  years ago
bye, Andrea

About Konzertstück, op.113 for piano and orchestra, there is a vox recording by jerome Rose.
last movement is a wonderful tarantella. bye Andrea

Rott died in 1884, only for this i didn't add to my list.
Alan, thx for Searle! very interesting!!
Andrea

Sorry Alan,
In order are:
Janacek: Sinfonietta
Schnittke: Symphony n.1
Schnittke: Symphony n.2
Pizzetti: Sinfonia in la minore
Szymanowsky: Symphony n.3 "Song of the night"

bye, Andrea

Alfred Schnittke, Kurt Atterberg, Joseph Marx, Bohuslav Martinu, Peter Maxwell Davies. I think that Schnittke, Martinu and Davies are not unsung....in this case....i can replace in order with IKarol Szymanowski, ldebrando Pizzetti (Sinfonia in la and Concerto dell'Estate), Gianfrancesco Malipiero. I have heterogenous taste...

Delicious...what pieces will you play with percussion ensemble?
I am interested especially in unsung music and also contemporary music (conducting a group)

His Symphony No 2,recorded on the Marco Polo,is a late work & be warned,it is in a more astringent style. Personally,I don't like it,but someone else might!

I quite like the Second Symphony - and I think you're being perhaps a little harsh about the recording 

There is a whole swathe of French composers of this time who are not recognised properly, having been eclipsed by Debussy and Ravel:

Louis Aubert
André Caplet
Paul le Flem
Albéric Magnard
Albert Roussel (to an extent)
Charles Tournemire
Max d'Ollone

do you know Leòn Reinach?
He was a jewish french composer, died in Auschwitz in 1944. He left a sonata for violin and piano (Senart 1925)
Andrea

I downloaded Schmitt's Quintet coupled with Hasards from iTunes store, good execution, pianist Christian Ivaldi.
I have also an excellent version of the Magnard violin sonata coupled with Franck Sonata (Dumay-Collard).
Andrea

bye, Andrea

Andrea
