I am looking for more names! 

Michael F. P. Huber (*1971) - Symphonie Nr. 2, op. 44

I have been waiting so log time for this record:
http://www.tiroler-landesmuseum.at/shop.php/de/cds/musikmuseum/musikmuseum_7
I am very interested in your opinion of Huber's symphony!

There is only a small Austrian tradition of writing symphonies in the last 100 years: for instance by Johann Nepomuk David, Gottfried von Einem, Iván Eröd, Ernst Krenek, Karl Schiske, Franz Schmidt, or Egon Wellesz. Since I have heard both premiers of Huber's symphonies, I am convinced: Huber is the first really important symphonic composer of Austria since Gustav Mahler!

In the booklet you can read:
"... in the future the bond between Johann Rufinatscha and Michael F.P. Huber will be further strengthened: the Tyrolean State Museum Ferdinandeum, as the keeper of the works of
Rufinatscha left to the museum by the composer, has commissioned Huber to compose wind parts to go with the string parts preserved from his Symphony in C minor."

I do hope very, very much, we will find on the same program with Rufinatscha's Symphony in C also Huber symphony no. 1, op. 38 (premiered 28.02.2009 by InnStrumenti and Gerhard Sammer), played by the enthusiasm of Akademie St. Blasius. Both symphonies are quite different! Enjoy - Huber is great !

Recently I heard a viny of the syphfonies no 6 & 7 by Pál Kados. I was impressed very much! Are there some other frinds of his music? Does anyone have some records? His vinyls by Hungaroton are hardly to find. Any suggestion how to get them or to get his music transfered in digital? Thank you very much!

Hi,

I am deeply impressed by the piano music of Déodat de Séverac.

As far as I can see, there are the following recordings:

Albert Attenelle, Columna Música
Jean-Joël Barbier, Accord
Aldo Ciccolini, EMI
Billy Eidi, Timpani (also by: Ogam)
Jordi Maso, Naxos
Izumi Tateno, Finnlandia

Only Ciccolini has done a complete recording (on 3 CDs). My favorite – far more than the academic-romantic approach by Ciccolini – is Billy Eidi, the French-Libanaisien Pianist (born 1955).

Do you know some more recordings? Which one do you like most?

Now, I am interested in more music by Sèverac:

Do you also know Céveracs symphonic works? I heard about three symphonic poems.

Who knows his chamber work? I heard about Sérénade au clair de lune, Piano Quintet in E-major, Suite "Les muses silvestres", and Suite "Le parc au cerfs". There must be some more.
Are there some records?

Do you know Céveracs Operas? ("Le cœur du moulin", poème lyrique in two acts (1908) and "Héliogabale", tragédie lyrique in three acts (1910))
Are there any recordings?

Thank you very much!

Best greetings from Austria
