A performance of Lassen's Concerto will take place in Dessau, 5 January 2017.
According to the blurb on the Deutschlandradio website the work was premiered in Dessau in 1888.
The concert will be broadcast by Deutschlandradio Kultur, 12 January 2017, 8 pm:

I have just uploaded a radio broadcast of an opera overture by the German romantic composer Wendelin Weißheimer.
The German title is 'Meister Martin und seine Gesellen'. English wikipedia translates this as 'Master Martin And His Companions':

Perhaps another Hausegger CD in the making?

Henning Mankell
Klavierkonzert op. 30

Gösta Nystroem

Anna Christensson, Klavier

Sorry for the late posting. I just realised that the works will be broadcast this evening at 9.15 pm German Time. However, this programme sometimes begins earlier or later due to the opera which runs before.

The Nystroem is beyond the remit but the Mankell may be of interest to some of you.

This coming Wednesday evening, 8pm, BR-Klassik will broadcast Karl Weigl's 3rd Symphony and the Adagio movement of No. 4:

[George Butterworth]

George Butterworth, who died in WWI, left a tantalisingly small amount of music. He stopped composing altogether when he volunteered in August 1914.
His last compositional project was a Fantasia for orchestra. Michael Barlow, Butterworth's biographer, suggests that it was begun in 1914 "since a Bayswater address is written on the score, and here Butterworth was living before war broke out."
(Michael Barlow, Whom The Gods Love: The Life and Music of George Butterworth. Toccata Press 1997. p. 177)

Barlow continues:
"A short score is referred to in these sketches, but there is no trace of it. A hushed, dark-coloured opening, on bassoons and divided violas and cellos, leads to an andantino section in which one basic theme, first heard on oboe and violas is developed, but the score is too fragmentary for constructive comment. A vivace section of only a few bars includes a promising figure on trumpets, but there the music stops." (ibid.)

Barlow quotes two fragments of the music and acknowledges the folksong idiom but "there are also changes in Butterworth's compositional style, with not a few influences from European composers." (ibid.)

According to Barlow Vaughan Williams's "A London Symphony" has had some influence on his orchestral writing. The fragment "is scored for a large orchestra, including triple woodwind." (ibid., p. 178)

Now the indefatigable Martin Yates has attempted a completion of the work. It is to be premiered at the opening concert of the 2015 English Music Festival.

Apparently the conductor Kriss Russman has also realised a performing version, already premiered (in piano score) in November 2014.
A performance and recording of the orchestral version is planned for 2016.

Today Christopher Hogwood died. I looked at wikipedia for more information and found that he was somehow involved - or maybe he had involved himself - in the discovery of a previously unknown early piano piece by Johannes Brahms. Some of you may have heard about this before. Anyway, here is a link to the piece, pdf-download and performance:

[BerlinExpat]

I start this thread to thank BerlinExpat for his recent uploads of Sekles songs. Another broadcast which I missed.

I haven't listened to "Schahrazade" yet but would like to know other members' impressions - also about the recent Toccata release of chamber music!

http://www.br.de/radio/br-klassik/programmkalender/sendung617304.html

A few years ago I recorded a Piano Sonata in E minor by Harald Fryklöf. I would like to know the date of composition.
The best online resource, the Svenskt biografiskt lexikon, lists a "Sonat [e]" but provides no date.
http://www.nad.riksarkivet.se/sbl/Presentation.aspx?id=14524
Any help would be much appreciated!

Dear members,

I have just uploaded a recording of the Piano Trio by Gustaf Hägg, a 1977 recording from Swedish Radio P2. It's quite a substantial piece, Lasting 38 minutes.
I haven't had time to listen to it yet so I cannot recommend it. You will judge for yourself if it has any virtues!

Gustaf was a prominent organist and a cousin of the better known Jacob Adolf Hägg.

Our study score series REPERTOIRE EXPLORER and OPERA EXPLORER are dedicated
to the publication of unjustly neglected works. As the repertoire of
classical music is shrinking continuously and most of the little known
pieces are vanishing into oblivion, this project is a direct and idealistic
response to  this unfortunate fact. We hope that our work will help the
music to revive and survive. If you want to know more about our editions
please visit our website www.musikmph.de and search the catalogue.


Summer greetings from Munich

We are lucky to have a recording in the downloads section but this seems to be a new one.
The Münchner Rundfunkorchester is conducted by Christoph Gedschold, a name new to me.
