Yummy.  Looking forward to it. 

Wonderful.  Thanks so much for this.

This topic sent me back to listen to the Berwald again.  What a lovely piece!  Thanks for the reminder of beauty in these dark times.    David

To the best of my knowledge, LMP is a modern-instruments ensemble...

According to BBC Music magazine, Raphael Wallfisch will record these 2 concertos "this year".  The orchestra is the London Mozart Players, no conductor is mentioned.  "The recording, for cpo, will follow their live performances...at Cellofest in London at the beginning of March."  Cpo have previously recorded Romberg 1 and 5 (iirc) with different forces.

Yes, thanks.  'Christus, der Auferstandene' was most impressive.  I also ordered a bassoon sonata of Herr Prof. Dr. Schreck's, but haven't listened to it yet...

Yes, I have the Jordan recording, too.  It's very fine.

When I first read the title, I thought it must be a joke...

This year's staged opera is Chausson's lush  'Le roi Arthus'.  No cast yet, but the performances are July 24-Aug 2.   Botstein conducts, natch.

But Herold's 'La fille mal gardee' is 1828, only 2 years later (though little, if any, of Herold's score is used in productions today...)

No, you read that right.  The conductor Dario Salvi, currently working his way through the vast expanses of Auber's overtures and intermezzi for Naxos, will record Lindpaintner's 4 act 'idealische ballet' 'Danina, oder Joko, der Brasilianische Affe' for the same label in March.  The orchestra is the Prague Philharmonic, according to the conductor's website (to which I was directed by a Rob Maynard review on Musicweb International.). The ballet dates from 1826, and featured choreography by Filippo Taglioni, father of the celebrated ballerina Marie Taglioni.  Filippo was also the choreographer of the original La Sylphide and the ballet of the ghostly nuns in Meyerbeer's Robert le Diable.  Lindpaintner's ballet was successful enough to be published in piano score, though how much of the 4 acts was represented I could not say.  As an admirer of Il Vespro Siciliano, which contains some lively dance numbers, i'm looking forward to this.           Ps. Just to clarify, Mr Maynard's review was of the Auber disc, not Lindpaintner.

Best of luck!

Gareth, the call number for the Nicholl piano concerto full score is *MW Amer. Concerto. Piano + Orch. Op.10. Autograph full score.   My note doesn't mention whether "Mus. Res." needs to be added to that.  The call number for the manuscript 2 piano arrangement is : Mus. Res. *MYD Amer. Concerto. Piano and Orch, 2 pf, 4 hands.

No, they never got back to me and I've had no time to go down there in person...not that going down there would actually help...
