Massimo Pradella, whose discography includes (aside from Italian premieres of works by 20th-century Americans like Roger Sessions) LP (premiere?) recordings of rare early works by Rossini for example, died 3 days ago.
Massimo Pradella was often in charge for rare works. I remember that many years ago he should have conducted in my city Raff Third Symphony.....but in the event it was substituted by Mendelssohn Reformation Symphony.
