Good gracious! That is some list of works. I can't help but think that we are missing out on some really good and possibly great music.

A 3rd volume in 2036   That hardly capitalizes on any commercial success with the previous two - and some of us may not be in the land of the living by that date!

Fair point, Eric! 

Thank you for drawing attention to this fine symphony, Alan, with its markedly Elgarian combination of nobilmente and wistfulness. It doesn't appear to have been recorded, which I feel is a tragedy.

Well, his last opera is described as a failure, and as far as I can tell none has a history of live performance, and none have been recorded. He eventually abandoned composing operas and turned to teaching. So it seems likely that their neglect is "perhaps" deserved. Our chances of knowing either way are very slim! 

Well, this is fascinating, Alan. A "recently discovered" concerto to add to Ysaye's ouevre.

• The Violin Concerto After Two Poèmes, Opp.18 & 19 that appeared on an old HMV LP, played by Maurice Raskin, is an arrangment, of course.
• IMSLP lists an incomplete Violin Concerto in E major, in addition to the Concertos 1-8.
• Sherban Lupu is soloist in a "recently discovered Violin Concerto in G minor from 1910"

.. I find it all all rather confusing!

Thanks, Eric. This looks fascinating, and I love the Erard piano, it's exactly right for this music in my view.

Thanks for alerting us to this.

Recordings of organ music are sometimes very poor - the instrument, the performer, the acoustics of the location, and the skill of the sound engineer combine to make for a very unpredictable outcome. But sometimes they are spectacular. I'm currently listening to the complete organ music of Cesar Franck (old CBS set) and it's crystal clear in all registers! If the Reger set is as good, then I may well go for it, but 17 CDs!! Hmm, I might well end up feeling "faint of heart".

There's a smattering of short pieces by Louis Niedermeyer on YT, including his Overture in C major, and numerous performances of his Pietà, Signore. Wiki mentions five operas - inc. Mary Stuart, Stradella and Robert Bruce - all of which have quickly, and perhaps deservedly, disappeared into obscurity.

Yes, thanks John.

These exchanges are so informative - thank you. My rahter clicky Herrmann LP, and its Nonesuch CD version, have been long cherished, and I haven't taken time to explore the other performances. I'll start by listening to the Zentralschweizer Jugendsinfonieorchester on YT - thank you for the link and the appraisal.
Can anyone explain the "Op.101" title?

The Symphony in D minor is neatly analysed, and its disappearance from concert halls noted, in the UK's Guardian newspaper back in 2014.

Yes, it was once standard fare on BBC Radio 3, and in live concerts, but I never warmed to it myself, and haven't listened to my CD (RPO/Leppard) for years; time for another try, with rather older ears. Ditto the Chausson.

Jonathan, I agree that some of the piano music is a bit humdrum, but not so the Da Vinci disc. I see that it can be heard on YT (as can most of Mosonyi's major works) at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKcC93-ESnQ&list=OLAK5uy_nQmLuxnAR811SbRKHNhW2KJpOHiHaTZH0 - which, to reiterate a point made by others, is a bit irritating for those who've purchased the disc!

I have the Vox CD of the Symphony, but haven't listened to it much as it struck me as rather featureless, as Alan indicates. But, in view of my recent redisovery of his music I must try it again! I'm sure a crisp new recording would help.

Over the last week or so I have been enjoying the music of Mihály Mosonyi (1815-1870). I was surprised to find that although his music clearly falls into UC's remit he has been mentioned only occasionally, mostly some years ago. I had assumed that his rather charming Piano Concerto was one of the Hyperion RPCs, but all I could find are the old Vox and Marco Polo recordings. The Marco Polo series of recordings of his piano music is likewise 23-30 years old. The Hungaroton version of his excellent String Sextet is from 2004; the String Quartets, and three Masses along with shorter vocal works, appeared some 15 years ago (although the actual recording dates are hard to pin down). A selection of piano pieces appeared on a Da Vinci disc in 2022 and is a delight, provided you're not expecting anything demanding.

That's just my take from visiting the usual music retail websites.

It's perhaps not 'great' music, compared to that of some of his contemporaries, but much of it is engaging and enjoyable. Perhaps it's Mosonyi's insistence on trying to create a distinctively Hungarian style that has led to this neglect. I don't know, but I do feel it is time for some fresh recordings! Does anyone else on UC share this view?
