[string trio]

There is also a new release of his fascinating 1911 string trio on a somewhat obscure label Auurk, the liner notes and mp3-downloads can be found here:

The work gained some popularity around this time being also performed by the famous cellist Pablo Casals (who performed often with Kelly in recitals) as well as by the violist Lionel Tertis, and the violinist Jelly D'Aranyi

Lossless downloads from Qobuz are available as well, e.g.

Don't miss this!

I just found a reference, stating that there has been made a studio recording of this symphony (not with the London PO):

2018, June 26th - 30th: CD studio recording of "Eine Herbstsymphonie" by Joseph Marx with Johannes Wildner and Philharmonisches Orchester Graz for CPO

Unfortunately - as is usual with cpo - there may be a delay of several years (up to 10-12!) between recording and actual release,
but let's hope that we will get this CD much sooner.

And here is another rivalling project from Toccata (Michael Schäfer has started
a series of recordings of Sabaneyev's complete piano works, after recording some
of his chamber music, on Genuin):

played by the magnificent Jonathan Powell, to be released in early December 2015.

with Nataša Veljkoviċ

Here is a quote from today's eClassical Daily Deal:

I remember that I participated in a discussion back in the '80:s of the long time between a recording and its release. I then, foolishly, said that it could be done in a matter of days, and was immediately challenged to prove the fact. So I decided to take up the glove and planned very carefully with all concerned, booklet author, printer, CD plant, orchestra, soloists etc to see how quickly a regular CD (not a live performance) could be recorded, edited, OK:ed, printed and pressed from end recording to actual appearance of the disc. Answer: 69 hours, but I can assure you - I didn't sleep a wink in those 75 hours between start of last day's recording until release. I won't repeat the process, that I can assure you of. Nevertheless, Bamberger Sinfoniker, Roland Pöntinen, piano and Leif Segerstam, conductor helped us with two of the most played concertos in the repertoire, Tchaikovsky 1 and Grieg, and they do it with all honour preserved. In spite of the speed, nothing has been left to chance (and this was in the time before internet, so we had to go to Salzburg from Bamberg in a car to deliver the master tape, having been edited on the spot in a hired studio). As I said - I won't do it again, but it was fun. RvB

Hopefully, cpo will take notice of this!

[Frühlingssonate]

I've just discovered the gorgeously played new release of a long awaited new recording of the Frühlingssonate (1944)
for violin & piano by Joseph Marx - not, as expected, from cpo (perhaps they have made a recording of it a long time
ago, but haven't yet managed to get the booklet finished), but from the Austrian label Preiser records.
The soloists are Lidia Baich & Matthias Fletzberger, the sonata is coupled with an equally well played Strauss sonata.

A highly recommended new CD, also available as download from several shops (including Preiser themselves)!

Challenge records has just released a new CD containing Karl Weigl's piano trio (1938 - 39) paired
with Steuermann's transcription of Schönberg's 'Verklärte Nacht' for piano trio, played by the Osiris Trio.

[German WDR3]

The German WDR3 will broadcast next Tuesday, 23.10.2012, 20:05
a forthcoming concert from Oct. 21th featuring a performance of
Erich J. Wolff's violin concerto Op.20 with soloist Sophia Jaffé
(together with Mahler's 7th symphony).

http://www.neue-philharmonie-westfalen.de/monat-10-2012.php?showid=10961

I've never heard anything about or from Erich J. Wolff, but I hope it will be a bit like Waghalter's newly rediscovered concerto.

@ Mark Thomas & Alan Howe & Semloh:

after reading the new forum guidelines carefully (at least I hope so), I still ask myself where to post new Download Requests.

Does anyone know, whether there have been performances and - hopefully - some recordings of
Bliss' Colour Symphony with Boult (to whom this work has been dedicated) or Barbirolli?

I've grown up with Groves' classical EMI recording on LP and also Handley's version on Chandos CD.
Listening to the great remastered performances of Alwyn's #1+2 with Barbirolli (from Dutton) I've just
wondered if there are similar treasures in the case of Bliss.

[Rodolphe Kreutzer]

Here I have a piece for violin & piano (entitled "Concerto-Fantasia", played by the great
Russian violinist Semyon Snitkovsky (downloadable from http://classical-music-online.net/,
http://classical-music-online.net/en/production/32691)
and erroneously attributed to Rodolphe Kreutzer (1766 - 1831), while it obviously
is a composition dating from sometime in the 20th century.

Does perhaps anyone know, what this piece really is?
