Do you know what "MC" stands for?  I get the "CD".  Some kind of cassette?

Shame they don't take credit cards.  Transferring money overseas is a pain.

Cello Sonata in e here:

thanks.  That's OK, I can easily download it from youtube.

Wish there were more....

Jerry

that would be great, Christopher.  There seems to be nothing out there except the Symphony and that's been available forever......

Right on, Gareth.

Well, there's Robert Volkmann Richard III Overture, opus 68. 

Jerry

Exciting news.   Looking forward to it.

Well, the saxophone gives it quite a different flavor from other piano and wind quintets.

Perosi reminds me a bit of Joseph Marx - on and on - but I really do like Marx's music.  Better than Perosi, I think.  But then Perosi's works for orchestra alone are few and far between so any kind of comparison seems difficult to make.

While surfing YouTube, I came across the Quintet in Bb for piano and winds by Walter Gieseking.  I was not aware that he was a composer as well as a very famous pianist.   But other than a Concertino for flute and piano, I haven't spotted anything else.  Searches are almost hopeless as they turn up hundreds and hundreds of recordings played by him.

This quintet sounds to me like it falls into our remit.  What do you think?

I posted his 2nd and 3rd symphonys in the downloads long ago.   Here is the link:

There are three piano concertos, at least two violin concertos, sinfoniettas, etc.  Lots of them are on YouTube.  Happy listening.

Jerry

All four of the piano quintets are available.  I agree, they are among his better pieces.  I also like the 1916 Piano Concerto.

Old thread, I know.  but much of Perosi's recorded music can be found at Radio me la suda.

Amazing how many of his huge oratorios have been recorded, if only at live performances.

Well, the Sonata, opus 183 may be a world premiere recording, there was a broadcast of it and as I recall, it was in the Downloads section.  Alhough it seems to have disappeared.   Mario de Secondi & Stefana Chitta-Stegemann the artists.

Once again, sorry to see that the opt-in for this project is so high.   I frequent a silent movie forum and one of their members just kickstarted a $2500 restoration project with $25 pledges.  Which was funded post haste.  Of course, everyone gets a copy of the DVD.

Alberto's post reminded me of an Elgar Second heard in Minneapolis years ago, I think under Neville Marriner that was so lovely it brought me to tears.  An occurrence that happens from time to time.  Other than introducing Bruckner and Mahler into the Twin Cities many years ago, I can't think of a single unsung composer (aside from 20th century noise) that the Minnesota ever played.  Maybe SDTom has a better memory......

In March, the Polish Baltic Frederic Chopin Philharmonic is playing the Wieniawski 2nd Violin Concerto with Agata Szymczewska, violin here in Palm Desert.  That's about as close to unsung as I've ever been........
