Thank you for drawing attention to these, pcc! I agree, good performances and fine, lively music, ideal for cheering up a cold morning!

I echo Alan's comment. Terrific music - very much my cup of tea. Thank you so much. I look forward to hearing the other movements in due course.

My reaction exactly. 

Also on an old Melodiya LP, with Rumessen (p.) and the Estonian State SO, cond. Järvi.

Also a conductor of many enjoyable recordings of light classical music, plus his own Cello Concerto, Piano Concerto and Symphony, and a long list of instrumental, vocal and choral music, and a number of significant orchestrations. A sad loss.

Since he died in 1841, does this really belong at UC?

...just testing the boundaries!

Yes, thanks for noting this. It's a must for me.

...and very enjoyable too. Thanks.

Spectacular!! Thank you, Alan.

Thank you for drawing our attention to this. Hahn can be such a pleasure. 

Oh. that's a pity. Alan. At a quick glance I can't see any other available recordings.

I think those Op. numbers may be a little confused, Eric. I have the Grand Trio as Op.11 and the Cello Sonata as Op.10.

Yes, the Sargent EMI recording is a long-time favourite. Many years ago, performances of the Suite used to occasionally pop up on BBC Radio 3, but I think more attention was paid to the Nursery Variations, Both seem to have faded into obscurity during the intervening fifty years or so.

Oh, gosh. Unsung indeed!

Plenty of performances of interest to UC at this year's English Music Festival, at Dorchester (Oxfordshire), including premieres. For full programmes, see:
