Composers & Music / Re: Horatio Parker Symphony
Sunday 13 May 2018, 22:46
His symphony might be of some interest, but do be aware its a very early work.

Works existing in recordings are all much much later, his above mentioned concerto and both tone poems A northern Ballad (I think one of his best works) and Vathek are mature works.

His piano trio is somewhat thin in my opinion.

On the other hand, there exists a radio recording of Count Robert of Paris, which might give you a taste of what level the symphony could be. Keep in mind though that the Overture is written 5 years after the symphony!

I doubt whether the record companies are usually aware of possible duplications.


just for fun and enlightment....

Rupert Sheldrake already postulated his theories about brainwaves.
Just as in his example people trying to solve the crossword puzzle hours after delivery have a simple task, in record company language it means that when one person starts talking about recording certain pieces many start on the topic...

Or might it be the situation-change where whereabouts of musicprint gets better known. The last I will undermine with the example of the last Chadwick recordings,... Where Refference Recordings ended their recordings for lack of printed music, Tudor went in search of originals to play unrecorded pieces.

Wooow,

Now that's a response i didn't expect to happen.  I feel deeply honoured by such a warm welcome!
I'm most greatfull for the upload of Weingartners cello concerto.

I'm not so sure what to find of it, for I have difficulty listening through the recording. For sure Weingartner has a problem with leaving the solo instrument alone for a minut, so I agree its not an outstanding concerto. The rest... I would be interested whats happening in the orchestra, for according to what I hear there's only countermelody and no accompaniment except for some pizzicati in the bases. Maybe I'm not able to let go of my love for Weingartner yet, or some things didn't get through in the recording, and am I hoping too much for the latter.

In the third part he is doing some interesting things I think...

From when is the recording?

Again many thanks for the welcome and the upload!

Composers & Music / Re: Unsung Romantic Cello Concertos
Saturday 30 March 2013, 18:18

I would love to hear Weingartners cello concerto, but apart from its hearing in Vienna in 1919 I don't know if it still exists. Since CPO's Weingartner cycle I expected it to be released, but nothing happened.

Other obscure: Cornelis Dopper, I know of two recordings, both amature, and not too well done. I'm not too convinced about the concerto itself, if for instance compared to Röntgens concerto's. I do love the three concerti by Hans Pfitzner (But since cpo's disc that might not be so unsung anymore), and both sonnetes by Biarant, though they're not a concerto off course. 

I bought the Tovey concerto, and was a bit disappointed by the thick and sluggish music.
