 While surfing Youtube for UC's, I came across a reference to Scheve, German born American composer.  Came to this country and was Professor of Music at Grinnell Collge in Grinnell, Iowa.  His most major work appears to have been a large oratorio "The Death and Resurrection of Christ" published in 1908.   There is a video of the final 11 minute of this lovely work in Russia several years ago and can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0or0mEV6PdU.

Apparently he wrote a symphony, 2 concertos and other works.

I suspect that the entire Moscow performance must have been taped but can find no trace, at least on youtube.

Can anyone shed some light on this composer/work?

But it only seems to be one movement.   Is there more??

Jerry

He had symphonic pieces based on Jerome Kern's music, also a Stephen Foster Commemorative Symphony and his Violin Concerto was on an old LP.

Jerry

Ditto.  Thanks.

The above 2 CDs are also on YouTube......

Was there also an Edward Reuss (1851-1911) ?? I have a cassette tape of a Piano Concerto after Liszt by him........

J

It hasn't shown up on NML yet either.  Nor has the Mayer Piano Trios.   Or the Holbrooke 3rd Symphony.   Or the Graener Cello Concerto.......

Yes

If the first piano concerto is opus 36, where did I get the idea that the recording I have of #1 is in Ab and I have it as opus 85??

Jerry

Please don't hold your breath waiting.......

For those of us who dig Perosi, I see that Bongiovonni has released a recording of his Suite #2 - Venezia and some other shorter goodies......  long work, just short of 40 minutes!

J

Gosh, and only 2 years after the original release date........heehee......

Thanks, Eric
