Yay! (I may have mentioned I'm something of a fan, based on a few of his works, and the prospect of a complete set of his tuneful and crafty trios makes me happy.)

Update: subscribers to Amazon Music (and I assume other streaming services) no longer have to also have to subscribe to an additional service to access Hyperion recordings- at least some, those I've checked at any rate, are now available. -Not- complaining.

How's the Holst series he did for Chandos, with such underrecorded works as the Choral Symphony e.g.?
(I'm going to go listen to his premiere of a symphony by R Simpson, a work I've heard under other hands. Would that more fine conductors -now- cared about great unsung music.)

Of course, most of Mihalovich's music remains in ms and available at best through a Hungarian library. I respectfully disagree regarding Liszt's music- my opinion is as opposite as my "opinion" of the spelling of his family name as he wrote it.

During my first of two trips to London , in 1993, I remember getting a couple of CDs at Moores (Myaskovsky 3/Lyrical Concertino, and - oh right, Tubin sym.7 etc. on BIS.)

meanwhile Rêverie has given us a file of the 3rd symphony, for which thanks.

It is.

I know I like his 6th very much, and it's good to see them receiving more recordings. I wish Naxos would do this for his possibly NLA string quartets (especially if they can look into the mysterious 5th quartet while they're about it.)

maybe because Naxos already has a recording of the 2nd piano quartet coupled not with the first but with the piano quintet in A minor.

A recording (possibly the first?) of the first two of van Bree's 4 string quartets (in A, published around 1833 (Simrock) and in E-flat, ca.1840 by Theune) was released in February on MDG. The 3rd quartet (D minor) was recorded years ago, the 4th is apparently unpublished and unrecorded.

ah, and their sym 4 ends at 32:09 (5:46 finale, rather briefer than Griffiths' 6:07.)

Total durations are almost the same (26:03/26:33 on Ondine, 26:37/25:26 on cpo) with some greater variations in reported durations of individual movements.

Their video of sym.4 is a minute slower than Griffiths, which may include pauses and applauses, haven't checked... edit: the performance starts at 34 seconds in, after applause, yes-the movements are given with internal timings under the video. "Available until 11 March 2025"- so perhaps the new commercial release is in process

The Tapiola Sinfonietta has been posting to YouTube recordings of some of the 8 symphonies by Beethoven's (piano) pupil Ferdinand Ries (1784-1838), whose complete symphonies have been recorded once, on cpo.
presto announces that May 3 will see the release of a new intended Ries cycle on Ondine from Janne Nisonen and the above mentioned Tapiola Sinfonietta. (Ondine describes the recording as first in a new cycle.)

of Charles Stanford's music is an exact duplicate (same narration, music, etc) of an earlier Stanford COTW, or a new one? Thanks

I like the quintets, 3rd piano trio (apparently once very often played) and violin sonatas especially myself. Thanks for the recommendation!

(And his once-popular piano quartet - I have the Thorofon version- appeals too )
