I have to say I ws a little bit surprised by some comments about english music vs the eastern one or music before 1918 vs music of the 20th century, one reason I like music so much is because it doesn't know any physical or time borders : Gesualdo is a modern composer harmonically speaking and George Lloyd is among the most romantic ones.

Regarding music sharing, I would say that a couple years ago I didn't own any LP's : I bought them recently and it costs a lot of money, it takes also a lot of time to digitize and clean them up, not to mention the uploading and posting work.

To be constructive I would say that the forum is probably the only one to offer so much hard to find music by neglected composers, of course a large part of the material posted here is not memorable (no matter it's from 19th or 20th century) but this overwhelming amount of music changes our way of  listening : it's now possible to be aware of this endless network of composers, some sharing strange similarities with others while separated by time or space (Gomshiksula and VW), some others forming a group or a school influencing each other and generating new forms consciously or not, it's like an organic development and an overview of the evolution of the composing process all around the world that only the internet and a forum like this one can offer.

I may resume uploading upon a decision of  the admninistrators regarding the direction they want for this website.

I will, I just have to find where it is.

And this is a short unidentified orchestral piece from my own collection.
The recording is about 15 years ago from Dutch Radio 4.
It sounded quite interesting and so I pressed the record button.
Unfortunately I had to leave the room before the end and the tape ran out. Therefore I missed the closing announcements.

I suppose this is a commercial recording but it's uncomplete and in a bad condition, so I thought I may risk to upload it.
I will of course remove it as soon as it has been identified.

This is the Intrata of Constant Lambert's "Summer's Last Will and Testament" (his masterpiece IMO) and probably the Hyperion recording

Here you can find some Chamber Symphonies by Stankovych :

I have fixed the link for Dawson's Symphony No.2

I downloaded my file and checked it with two up to date kinds of antivirus :  everything is OK.

Would it be possible to zip or rar the multiple track pieces ? This will save a LOT of time using Mediafire.

Thx for this jowcol,

nothing special to say about the Aesopi Convivium (Le festin d'Aesope) besides it's a Theme and Variations.

The Symphony No.1 in C Major was written in 1949 and there is 3 Mvts :

I .  Allegretto Pastorale.
II.  Theme and Variations.
III. Rondo.

I will translate the rest next time

[Bela Tardos - Symphony (subtitled 'In memoriam martyrum')]

Bela Tardos  -  Symphony (subtitled 'In memoriam martyrum') (1960)

Symphony Orchestra of the Hungarian Radio and Television
Conductor: Miklós Erdélyi

From: lp Qualiton LPX 1199 (The release must be before 1967 I guess, because the composer was still living)

I'm afraid this is not the best quality I ever uploaded. A quick run with filtering was not much better, so I left it unchanged. It's up to you, if you need to do anything with it.

I will check my copy and if it sounds OK I will upload it

I deleted the following post as I just realized this work is on CD :

Vladigerov, Pancho (1899-1978)

Divertimento for chamber orchestra,
Bulgarian National Radio Symphony Orchestra,
Alexander Vladigerov (conductor)

WŁADYSŁAW ŻELEŃSKI
"Żyj pieśni" (Long live the Song) - Cantata for Choir and Orchestra (1901)

Orchestra and Choir of the National Philharmonic of Warsaw
cond. Antoni Wit

off radio, live broadcast from the Warsaw Philharmonic, 05.11.2011 of the concert celebrating its 110th anniversary

The Cantata is actually a piece for Cello and Orchestra, could you clarify please ?

Here's a scan of the back cover for the Szabo :

Interesting to see a bartione paired with an orchestra rather than a band.

The most famous use of a Baritone Horn with full orchestra is certainly the extensive solos this warm instrument gets in the fisrt Mvt of Mahler's seventh. The american Baritone Horn is actually the german Tenor one, not to be confused with the Tenor Wagner Tuba using the same mouthpiece as a french horn while the other horns need a trombone one

Thanks for the Ranki symphony. A truly kaleidoscopic composer!
Could we have something else by him?
Thanks again!
