New from cpo are Kreutzer's VCs 15, 18 and 19...

...and d'Albert's Symphony, Op.4 (a big, post-Brahmsian statement with some magnificent writing - better IMHO than the Thuille Symphony or the early pair by Richard Strauss)...

The Kreutzer concertos are charming but there are just soooo many of them and so many other pieces I would rather hear. J
Quite. Let's get on with recording the far superior mid-to-late Romantic repertoire - Gernsheim, Becker, Brüll, etc.
The only thing I've ever wanted to hear by D'Albert is 'Tiefland'.
The Symphony is early - from his Brahms-inspired younger days. But it's a lovely listen. I would say that, if you like the later d'Albert, his opera Die toten Augen (on cpo) would be worth a try.
Born in Glasgow,apparently!
Also a fine cello concerto...most cellists know of it, even if it is seldom played. Piano concerto No.2 is also somewhere around the frrrringes of the repertoire...
I agree about Tiefland. Wonderful piece. As good or better than Cav/Pag.

Die Toten Augen is IMHO a minor masterpiece.
Absolutely, Gareth. Superior to Tiefland, IMHO.
