I just got a cheap used copy at a shop in Montreal. Good late romantic work. Apparently there is a ballet sequence that was cut from this performance. At least that's what the reviewer on Amazon says. It looks like he knows a lot. I looked up Ivan Zajc and can't find much. Wii says this :

Zajc was an exceptionally prolific composer as evidenced by almost 1000 works, from Op. 234 to Op. 1202, produced during his time in Zagreb. Included in this number are Mislav (1870), Ban Leget (1872), his masterpiece Nikola Šubić Zrinski (1876), and Lizinka (1878), in addition to operettas, musical comedies, cantatas, songs and choral compositions, concerti, chamber music, and many other works.

His Symphony is on youtube and it's not bad. Croatian Radio-Television Symphony Orchestra with
Robert Homen, conductor. Not the best sounding band I've heard though.

That's sad. How old was he?

I have some good ones coming up. Guillaume Lekeu's Adagio pour quatuor d'orchestre in Boston Friday. The Glazunov Violin Concerto Saturday in Albany. Back to Boston Sunday for the Voříšek Symphony in D Major.

I got to hear MacDowell's Piano Concerto No. 2 in Concord, MA over the weekend. There were more people in the orchestra than the audience Friday. Randall Hodgkinson was the pianist.

A few weeks ago Botstein and his youth Orchestra Now performed Bristow's 4th Symphony. They did it in NYC and also at Bard. The concert from the Fisher Center is here:

Vaughan Williams 6th Symphony is more chromatic than anything. It hardly sounds like music to me. I've never heard it in concert. I think everyone knows his Fantasia on Greesleeves.

They have been playing Price at concerts here in Boston and at Bard. It's the only think I like about wokeness. I'm now getting to hear some worthwhile music by lesser composers. Albany Symphony played Ethel Smyth's Concerto for Violin and French Horn last year just before the pandemic destroyed live music.

I doubt they will record this. Very exiting to be able to hear a live performance of this work this weekend - in VT of all places!

Will be playing LIVE in Montreal Sunday. That's the best way by far to hear music. The OPMEM (Orchestre philharmonique des musiciens de Montréal) will be playing it. They do some cool stuff. A few years ago they did the Wager Symphony.

I just found the Hyperion CD in a used bin at a shop in Montreal. Awesome music. One more composer to add to my list of time travel rescues.

There will be a live performance of the Prelude to Der Musikant at Bard with Leon Botstein conducting next week at the Bard Music Festival. That's such an awasome festival. I get to hear all kinds of things that never get played.

There is going to be a major performance of the Farrenc 2nd Symphony on July 6th at the Lanaudiere Festival in Quebec. Super conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin will lead the Orchestre Métropolitain- Montréal. He is conducting the work with the Philadelphia Orchestra next January too. I see no indication that either will be broadcast or that he will record the work. But I will be at the Quebec performance!

I got to hear her tone poem The Oak performed live at the Cambridge Symphony last week. Started out like Dvorak then got a bit darker like Rachmaninoff. Several Boston area orchestras played some of her works this year but I was not able to catch them. Maybe there will be a Price revival.

It's a beautiful work. Unjustly neglected certainly. They managed to get soloists from Moscow: sopranos Svetlana Polyanskaya and Ekaterina Kudriavtseva, mezzo-soprano Anna Kholmovskaia, tenor Konstantin Stepanov and bass Aleksei Komarov. I think I recall microphones but I have not heard that they will broadcast it.

They played a new edition of the work. I summarize what was in the booklet they gave us with notes from Olga Konovalova;
The VP of the Chœur classique de Montréal heard a 1970s recording from the USSR and the board and Louis Lavigueur liked it. The score for the choir and piano accompaniment were in the public domain. They got a copy of the score from a Russian choir that had performed it and Louis Lavigueur noticed differences between the choral scores and what they got from Russia. That's when they found out that there were two versions of the work. The first was used for the funeral of the King of Poland in 1798. The second is longer with a different orchestration used for the funeral of Tsar Alexander I. They then found the digitized 1798 edition's orchestral score in a Polish national library. The manuscript of the 2nd edition from 1826 was found in the library at the D. Shostakovich Philharmonia in St Petersburg. Kozlovsky did not have time to finalize the second version. The manuscript has notes from the composer suggesting that excerpts from requiems by Salieri and Cherubini be used in some places. They confirmed that the recording was the 1826 version without the unfinished parts. They decided to reconstruct the work. Two Russian technicians did it in Russia with the supervision of Louis Lavigueur on skype.
