Post by: eschiss1 on Saturday 17 February 2018, 02:34
On cpo forthcoming.

with the overture Zu einem Drama. Taped mid-2017.

The cellist is the same fellow who recorded it on a SWR radio broadcast years ago (Hülshoff).

Thanks, Eric, this news is really how to start the day! Of course, one has to remember the length of cpo's pipeline....

To be honest, I'm most thrilled to hear a new rendition of Zu einem Drama, something of an anomaly in Gernsheim's work which I love dearly.

Great news. I' m very fond of Gernsheim's PC...surely the best of his concertos. I hope to live long enough to own the disc. In the meantime, there is always Triendl's YouTube recording, of course.

Yes, Zu einem Drama is a superb, compact, late Gernsheim concert overture that I like even more than his symphonies. Looking forward to this disc of his concertos.

The cello concerto is already available on Hyperion, of course, but it will be such a relief to have the piano concerto on a quality CD rather than YT.
