Recordings & Broadcasts / Re: Carl Reinecke - Music for ...

Last post by Febct - Yesterday at 21:06

An altogether enticing collection. Although I haven't got this particular CD, I have all these works. I have accompanied my wife in a performance of the Op256 some years ago, and also accompanied a flautist in the flute version of the sonata. All these pieces are typical of Reinecke at his best - superb, attractive chamber music which deserves much more exposure!

Well, thank you for that.  High praise, indeed - and I'll look forward to helping expose them!

Some people here may find the music archive of the "Kurorchester" useful for research. The archive catalog has information on about 7500 works. The website is available in German and Italian.

I won this on eBay for a couple of US bucks, to fill in my Reinecke collection.  I've heard only snippets of the works.  Does anyone know them? Comments?

Fantasiestücke Op.22
Clarinet Sonata "Undine" Op.167bis
Introduction and Allegro appassionato Op.256

I have got both the Alfano new recordings.
Musically rewarding (and not paticularly easy) the string quartets.
Some "fun" from the orchestral recording (excepted the "Nenia" for accordion solo).

Composers & Music / Re: Eižens Buke / Evgeny Bukke...

The only recording Worldcat lists of what may be the same Bukke is perhaps something related to the finale of Khovanschina- an arrangement?- in which e.l.bukke is a performer... (that could be e.i.bukke?)

His father's name was Ivan, so in Russia (though not Latvia) his middle name would have been Ivanovich. And in his lifetime he was better known as a conductor, so maybe he was performing in that capacity?
