Apparently he only composed 4 large-scale works, a suite, 2 symphonies and a violin concerto. I just encountered the 1st "Autumn" Symphony (1879) and was bowled over. Is there a non-commercial recording of the violin concerto anywhere?

More or less: "Oliver Triendl on piano with members of the Minguet Quartet in a performance produced by" (I think) some chamber music society (maybe Alan can fill us in here) "in the Grand Piano Quartet, Op. 133, by Ferdinand Hiller."

Here's the quartet as broadcast on Sunday on WDR3. I'm sorry I don't comprehend spoken German so please, will someone else fill in the details which are at the end of the performance....It's a long piece, about 37 minutes.
And, yes, it DOES start that abruptly....
