The Swedish Classical Radio will broadcast Sigurd von Koch's Piano Quintet from 1916 on December 14th in their programm "Klassisk förmiddag" (10.00 - 12.00 am) : http://sverigesradio.se/sida/tabla.aspx?programid=2562&date=2011-12-14
Sigurd was the father of Erland von Koch and, unlike his son, died at young age. His Violin Sonata in E Minor (1913) seems to be his only work that has been recorded.

WDR3 will broadcast in a "Feiertagskonzert" on November 1st (10.00- 12.00) the string quartet no. 2  in G minor op. 15 by Fritz Brandt (1880–1949). Cobett only says the quartet met favorable opinions among the German critics. I can't find anything on Brandt on internet. But I have a recording of the quartet - presumably the same as the coming broadcast - and I think it's rather nice.

Hi everybody,
Recently I found a recording of the 1st String Quartet by Georg Rauchenecker
(1844-1906). Not great but rather pleasant to hear and in any case good enough to get interested in his oeuvre. According to Wikipedia (Grove pays no attention to him) he left a great amount of compositions: chamber music, symphonies, opera's and choral music, but as far as I know only his 1st String Quartet has been recorded and it also seems the only work that is still available in print. I hope I'm wrong.
Anybody?

For those who are interested in the symphonies by Ewald Sträßer: his 1st symphony op 50 will be broadcast by WDR 3 (Germany) on Sunday Sept. 20 between 1 pm and 3 pm.
