Dear members,
I have uploaded recordings of two recent broadcasts of Symphonies 3 and 10 by Joachim Raff.
Perhaps Mark has better recordings?

Many thanks. I didn't know of Järvi's performance, so no better recording from me. A couple of years ago, he was supposed to be continuing his recordings of the Raff symphonies for Chandos with the 10th and 11th, but I had understood that the project fell through, although he had conducted the 11th in concert (download of recording here (https://www.unsungcomposers.com/forum/index.php/topic,9910.0.html)). Maybe this performance of the 10th signals the prospect of more Chandos recordings after all?
Jaarvi is nearly 90 now so I think it unlikely he will complete a Raff symphony cycle on Chandos (or any other label). I do wish, however, that he would commit his interpretation of No. 3 to disk before he transfers to the great podium in the skies!
Yes, I do agree that it's unlikely, but at least we have his interpretations of two more of the symphonies, even if not Im Walde. That said, I wasn't over-impressed with his Der Winter.
