Dear members,

I have uploaded two items from a recent Münster concert. I cannot remember when it was broadcast, most likely in March on WDR 3. The Grimm Scherzo was found only recently.
There was also Clara Schumann's late March in E flat for piano which Grimm orchestrated. There has been a student orchestra recording from 1996 which I don't know:

Composers & Music / Re: 2025 Unsung Concerts

Tomorrow, Sunday 16 March, members of the Osnabrücker Sinfonieorchester will give a chamber concert. Two horn trios are programmed, one by the contemporary Norwegian composer Trygve Madsen and the Horn Trio Op 28 by Joseph Holbrooke. I will not be able to visit but I thought some of you just would like to know about this rare occasion.

Thank you, Rainolf!
My father came from Silesia and I've long been interested to hear anything by Hermann Buchal. (Though I don't expect to hear one of his symphonies.)
Masha Dimitrieva, the pianist who did a great job in promoting the music of Gordon Sherwood, talked in an interview a year ago about her interest in Buchal and her intention to record his piano music.

The broadcast is currently on air. I missed the beginning. But the audio is already on demand here:

Usually concert broadcasts are available for 30 days at Deutschlandfunk Kultur. But there are rare cases when this is not possible for legal reasons. Of course I will record this broadcast ,,live" but I mentioned it in case I should fail so other members can plan to record themselves.

The coming Friday Deutschlandfunk Kultur will broadcast a concert with the Philharmonisches Orchester Bremerhaven conducted by Marc Niemann.
The main item will be Johanna Senfter's Symphony No. 2 in D minor, Op. 27.

Dear members!

EM-Records has released a new Holst disc with some first recordings. We have an old broadcast recording of The Vision of Dame Christian. It's not one of Holst's major achievements but a fresh recording will help to assess the work better.

Here is a review:

Quote from: Alan Howe on Sunday 22 December 2024, 14:41It would be nice if there were liner notes to peruse, but...
I remember someone telling at this forum that the long delay of releases is partly the fault of the writer of the lining notes procrastinating...

Quote from: Alan Howe on Wednesday 18 December 2024, 22:32Oh dear. It wasn't done with our knowledge, let alone approval.

No, of course it wasn't. And one cannot check the whole internet every day. ;)

I uploaded this WDR3 broadcast in 2011 to the members of our forum. I suppose Mr Rufinatscha took it from there and uploaded it to youtube. He didn't ask me. I don't feel comfortable with this because I don't own the rights on this recording. I upload here because I can remove my upload when it becomes available commercially. But when someone crossposts it at youtube or at other sites I have no chance to deal with this.

At last I managed to check my broadcast recording. Deutschlandfunk Kultur obviously decided against broadcasting the complete conversation at the beginning of the opera. You can still listen to the original broadcast here:
https://www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de/charles-villiers-stanfords-oper-the-critic-vom-wexford-festival-dlf-kultur-c0ef545b-100.html

I hadn't noticed that Wexford had uploaded the opera to YouTube. I wouldn't have bothered to provide the truncated broadcast then. But I am glad that no music is missing!

Quote from: Mark Thomas on Monday 04 November 2024, 16:16the German broadcast (or britishcomposer!) omits the 11 minutes of their discussion with which the opera begins

Mark, I am sorry! I did the editing in haste and hadn't listened before posting. I will check later this week and report if it was my fault or not.

Quote from: kolaboy on Thursday 17 October 2024, 02:35I certainly hope that someone is able to record this.

I did contact the team at Saarbrücken but got no answer.

Composers & Music / Gustav Holst - Sita
Saturday 21 September 2024, 23:21
This Saturday I missed celebrating Gustav Holst's 150th birthday. But those of you who happen to be in Germany in October may be interested to know that Holst's opera Sita will receive its world premiere performance in Saarbrücken.

I don't know yet if a broadcast or recording will follow but it would be very wise not to miss this opportunity!
