Another double : Rozycki  (1883-1953) ballade and first cto already recorded in Poland (CD Acte Préalable APO217)

Try also those by Ernesto Cavallini (1807-74) on CPO 777 948-2 (2015 release) nicknamed the "Paganini of the clarinet (no less !!)

Why not a sub-feature unsung works by famed composers ?
I suggest youth concerto (belatedly numbered 2) by César Franck (see Naxos Under Roberto Benzi)the finale is toe-tapping!

two other K in the same vein with such a concerto Under their belt :
Kalman (1882-1953) and Kattnigg (1895-1955) both wiritten in the same period...
Maybe the neutral form of romantic concerto was better tolerated than theater/cabaret à la Weill/Brecht...
and Nico Dostal leading the Berlin PO in 1979 recorded his own Blues-Fantasie for piano & orchestra (on CPO 999 811-2)
theKünneke's  dance suite (Berlin PO Under the composer,Telefunken1938) is available on Magdalena METCD8005
Only Kattnigg had been member of the nazi parti...
Allo ,Hypérion,why not a forthcoming coupling of Künneke &Kalman i this fabulous series of romanticpiano concertos ?

Yes, if you discover the so british Montague Phillips (1885-1969) : 2cd of light pieces incl. Sy. and a third of his 2 piano concertos -1907,1919- on Dutton Epoch.
orch pièces are in theCoatesian mood, concertos are russian oriented romanticism (to my continental taste)

ToccataClassics TOC0277 is just releasing orchestral works by the neglected half-brother of ClaraSchumann née Wieck
addenda-scoop : type Bargiel on Youtube (yes!...) and you'll find on your right (of the screen) some highlights fromother unsung composers (I guess from german regional broadcasts...)


Please pardon my English, I'm french !
