I have been trying to get a record company, any record company to record his piano concerto.  It is the last substantial unrecorded Russian one from that period.  I am aware of a renowned pianist on the international circuit who would like to do it.

Percy Sherwood, died Hampstead, London 1939.  Does anyone know where the score of his other piano concerto is? I know of the one on C.

After my first posting on this site, I had a great response. Thank you.
Why hasno one, so far as I know, recorded the eight piano concertos of Daniel Steibelt. 1765-1823.  He was the great rival of John Field while they were both resident in Russia.  At one point they agreed to swap cities so that whoever was in St Petersbuer went to Moscow and vice versa.

My principle interest is classical & romantic piano concertos. For the sake of completeness I wish someone would record Cesar Francks first piano concertos in B. All Francks' other compositions for piano and orchestra have been recorded. Similarly   Ignaz Brull's Rhapsody for piano and orchestra, Sergei Bortkiewicz's Russian Rhapsody, Alexander Dreyshock's Grand Fantasy, William Sterndale Bennett's piano concerto no. 6 in A minor. The last one has not been recorded thanks to the obstructiveness of the owner of the manuscript. This list would clear up the remainders, so to speak, of these composers. I am aware that there are many other composers of music for piano and orchestra who have only had some of their music recorded. In many cases a lot of work would be required on the scores.
