I see that there are a few books devoted to him and his music and am guessing that one of them might- I'll see if I can borrow one of them...

Conductor Peter Ernest Tiboris died on September 17th. Best known for recording Mahler's adjustments of various works to early 20th-century concert halls and instruments (a project of dubious necessity), he did also make recordings of lesser-known Mascagni operas (e.g. Silvano- he didn't give its premiere recording but perhaps its second?) and some other works that do fall under our remit (including some works by Sergei Taneev and Krommer.)

ok, imho the real test of that statement is whether a work will -also- repay relistening over time etc* but I catch your meaning and thanks for the links!

*Just heard one of Brahms' own piano quartets live this weekend that I had not heard live before, and noticed things I hadn't despite knowing the work for decades. (May there always be a reason to come back, of course...)

Wasn't expecting there to be but glad to have that confirmed (well, ok, yes, I wouldn't mind but you know what I mean!)

Symphonies 1 & 3 are now available on Presto and Amazon as of late last month, I see...

Reissue of the broadcast or reissue in the more usual sense of having been available commercially between 2011 and now and now being available again? ...

Much the same program as was noted here in a concert broadcast announcement about 13 years ago, with the same performers, is now being issued on a Myricae Classics CD in early October - Giuseppe Martucci's piano concerto no.1 in D minor (Op.40, 1878) and symphony no.1 in D minor (Op.75, 1888-95). Stefan Malzew conducting the Neubrandenburger Philharmonie, with Pietro Massa, pianist in the concerto. (Both works have been recorded several times now, but I wouldn't describe them as "sung", exactly.)

(The 3rd movement of the symphony can already be streamed at Amazon, and the rest will follow on October 4. I see that the same forces have also recorded the 2nd concerto, released in 2013, coupled with his Op.58 theme and variations, and the notturno Op.70 No.1 as played by Mr. Massa on the one hand, and in its orchestral arrangement on the other.)

The "pipeline" page is much briefer now but at least no longer seems to be filled with CDs that have already appeared on Toccata? Just Erb organ works vol.2, Nicodé piano music vol.1,  Robert Simpson chamber music vol.1, Stevenson vol.7, Flury opera "Casanova e L'Albertolli" (after three other operas by Flury have appeared on Toccata, apparently- good on them...), Kouvaras piano music, songs and chamber works v.2 and- that's it.

The "Concertante for violin, cello, double bass, piano and orchestra on Les folies d'Espagne" in D minor was recently published (possibly a first non-ms edition?) by Ries & Erler (Hagels edition "Based on the autograph score (shelfmark: Add MS 31782) preserved in the British Library, London"), I see no sign at least of an earlier commercial recording.

He apparently has a symphony (no.3/6) in C minor (1826) and a symphony (unnumbered by the composer, sometimes given "no.8") in C minor (1834). I'm not sure what the (1847) refers to again? (His symphony in E-flat was revised in 1846, though. The no.2 in B-flat (1821, revised 1839) seems to be the other... the opening pages of the holograph of its 1839 version are available at Archive.org and mirrored at IMSLP.)

I see commercial recordings of
*symphony no.1 in G minor, (1819/1824-26/1833)
*"Symphony no.8 in E-flat and Symphony no.10 in G minor" (now called no.5- called no.8 by the composer- (1828/46) and symphony no.6 (composer called both no.2 and no.10 (1832))
*Symphony "no.7" (now no.4) in F (1826) (recorded with Bennett's Op.43) ; there's probably other commercial recordings. The B-flat may have been recorded non-commercially. I don't know what the C minor symphony is supposed to be, again.

It's always struck me very positively when I've caught it on the air.

There's also apparently Max Tan's 2024 dissertation?

I can't find performances of even her published dramatic works, like one of her operas, offhand, so... probably the latter. Sometimes in the absence of a Robert WL Simpson this will be what happens, after all.

A movement from the cello sonata. At least judging from the opening, Romantic music.

semloh: Schoenberg, unlike some, did not teach his students to compose like him (not in the way you're thinking, I mean), though some of them did compose music more and some less tonal/Romantic (but following their own muses). He even wrote an article (reprinted in Style and Idea) on teachers who taught how to compose in others' styles - to him, a mistake - and what he generally taught his students by contrast.

I meant "not impossible" that it's been recorded before at some point in the past- I was responding to the wrong comment . That's on me...
