Last time I contacted Dr.Fifield earlier this year, he did have some copies left.  However, at about the same time, I received a massive car repair bill so didn't buy a copy.

Composers & Music / Re: Gernsheim Symphonies
Monday 20 November 2023, 20:32
Interestingly, I'm on a Gernsheim "binge" at the moment, I've recently got the wonderful violin concertos (CPO) and, just last week, Toccata Classics 2 CDs (so far) of the piano music.  Must give the Symphonies a spin soon - I've got the old Arte Nova recording and it one of the first obscure composer discs I ever bought.

Hi All,
Yes, it is - normal service will be resumed soon.

Hi all,
As a reviewer for MWI, I can report it was just down for maintenance.
Hope this helps,
Best regards

Indeed!  ;D

Just an observation, I can't remember who said it (it might even have been on Facebook!) but someone said Rubinstein benefited from faster tempi.  Maybe this set would prove that?
#22
My thoughts exactly.
#23
This sounds very interesting!
#24
Indeed, there's short and there's too short!

Personally, I really dislike the "Piano Concerto no.3" after the Violin concerto. It just doesn't work (IMHO, of course)
#26
Terrible news.

I'll have to have a look, many thanks for the heads up!

None needed Terry!

As for the concerto, I've not heard it but based on the comments here, I shall definitely have to investigate!

Hi Terry,
No, that wasn't me, it's a different Jonathan! I don't have enough time to write as many reviews as he does!  :)
Best regards

Brilliant, both eschiss1 and I had the same idea!
