I have the new piano concerto and four songs from eMusic (and originally, DLed free on SpiralFrog, but that site is gone so the files don't work anymore...), but I also have the solo piano disc on CD which is great as well, and the Rhapsodie Romantique from eMusic as well (the last of which is actually a longer version of the middle movement of the piano concerto #4 being talked about. Both are worthwhile with a theme I can even hum now...)

But the best is probably the Concerto de Quebec, which is...well it didn't get top marks for nothing. It's paired with Gershwin's concerto and Addinsell's Warsaw Rhapsody, but even those two are worth buiying a new recording of for the CdQ...

Atterburg 8. It really doesn't get much better.

Gliere 2, Kabalevsky 2, and (though not an unsung, the piece is) Rimsky-Korsakov 1 also come to mind.
Gotta love those Russians I guess...


Oh and I guess Myaskovsky 19, though it's for Wind Ensemble. And for something a bit more modern but still fully in 'our' idiom, there's James Barnes's 3rd...though as far as wind ensemble pieces go that's probably not all that unsung.

Richard Hayman?!

Great to see the forum back relatively quickly.

It's also nice to see the Raff site isn't being flagged any more either.
