Mark,

Thanks for the upload (and apologies to all other uploaders whom, in my dotage, I've unintentionally not thanked for their efforts).  Apart from enjoying her music immensely, I find that I'm listening just out of enjoyment and her gender never enters into the equation (which I feel is as it should be, but others may disagree).  If any of her further, previously unavailable works become available they would really be appreciated.

Best wishes

Richard

Ilya,

Having enjoyed a further listen to his symphony yesterday evening, I have just downloaded the 1st suite in C maj - many tks for the upload, which in its own way I hope will be as entertaining to listen to. I've just found that 'Repertoire Explorer' (https://repertoire-explorer.musikmph.de/en/product/grimm-julius-otto/) has a long description of the work.

Cheers

Richard

Thank yo tuatara442442 for the Beau symphony upload.  Look forward to listening to it during the week.

Best wishes

Richard

Mark,

PS Just noticed the original post confirms this is Op 41. Sorry I have taken 3 posts to convey what should have  been in just 1.  Getting a bit muddle-headed these days

Richard

Mark,

Is this work to be broadcast her Op 41?  If so, a score publisher I came across (https://furore-verlag.de/en/women-composer/luise-adolpha-le-beau/) says the whole work lasts about 60 mins, which suggests a full, 4-movement work for her Op 41.

With respect to the two forthcoming movements from her symphony, do we know if the orchestra is only performing two movements or if they were all performed (recorded?), of which only the first two are being broadcast? 

Any early info much appreciated

Best wishes

Richard



I ask because if the whole work has ben performed then hopefully it was recorded at the same time (or else a recording is planned for a later date or a glorious recording opportunity was wasted - whichever!)

Mark

Tks for uploading her Overture. Much appreciated. I already have her PC on a CD and (IIRC) I really enjoyed that but otherwise the cupboard seems somewhat bare of her orchestral works.

Best wishes

It reminds me of the multi-piano version of Liszt's Hexameron I came across a few years ago.  I'll have to dig it out and see how the extra pianos make any difference to say the single piano version in Hyperion RPC volumes of Liszt's Piano & Orchestra works.  (I'll probably get the download as I'm  a sucker for unusual recordings!)

Cheers

Richard

Arno,

Tks v. much for the update.  Brahms 're-using' his 5th sketches in his double concerto means they have survived in some form (like Tchaikovsky and his 3rd PC/'7th' symphony??), which is pleasing, rather than them never being used (because I can't think of anything orchestral of Brahms I've heard that wasn't v. good music IMHO).

As to the 'other' 5th you mention, I presume there is too little to work with otherwise some enterprising person would have constructed a 'realisation'??  (a la HESS Beethoven fragments)

Best wishes

Richard

Alan,

I too drew a blank with my own internet searching. Given the 'seniority' of Brahms ranking (if I may use such a phrase) I'm very surprised - it's a bit like Beethoven's 10th symphony sketches being overlooked.  Certainly it is highly unlikely anything has been done with them, otherwise I'm sure someone on this forum would have made us aware of any such enterprise.  Another 'que sera'.

Cheers

Richard

Tyrol Landsmuseum will need to be contacted directly.  Unfortunately their on-line shop is (or at least was) in  German only. I know I shouldn't speak for him, but Alan was very helpful to me some years ago when I wanted to make some purchases from them.  Likewise, I believe Terry must have successfully negotiated the traps and hurdles their web-site offers.

I would offer my own help but I know I get muddled too readily these days and would hate to lead you  astray.  I have also found them very helpful on either the phone or e-mail once you have obtained the correct contact point.

Happy hunting - certainly their catalogue of romantic works is thin but I've found all of what they do have to be a pleasing listen.

Best wishes

Just been playing my DGG CD of Brahms 1st and 4th Symphonies.  As it originally came without any notes, at some distant point in the past I've downloaded some notes (which in my file I've credited as 'NAXOS notes by Robert Pascall').  The reason I mention this is that he mentions 'surviving sketches for a 5th symphony' and I wondered whether (i) anyone at UC is aware of this and knows anything about their status and (ii) has anyone 'out there' done anything by way of offering a completion/orchestration (e.g. as per Newbold and Schubert).

Cheers

Richard

Just a quick 'heads up' Folks (and apologies if this content is a 'duplicate' of any earlier post which I've I missed) but Presto are showing a NAXOS release of Dietrich's works due out Friday 26th July. Although the symphony and violin concerto are not new, it does contain an Overture in C major which I do not believe HAS been previously released.

Cheers

Richard

Just notices these Reineke downloads and would just like to politely point out that I think the 2 Mediafire links needs to be reversed.

Anyway, I enjoy most of Reineke's music so here's hoping these do likewise

Tks to BC for the upload

Best wishes

Richard

Checking my own copy of the original EBS CD, the notes say the work' orchestration was entrusted to a Dr. Joachim-Dietrich Link (but no mention of who by, why or when).  It says the first 2 movements flow into each other 'attacca'. The notes also mention Liszt's influence (and they also include a photo from 1886 of Stavenhagen standing at Liszt's shoulder while the latter is at a piano).  I only mention this as Presto say the download version does NOT include a digital booklet.

So long since I last listened this post has prompted me to give it another spin.

Cheers

Richard
 

Mark,

Many tks for the Walter upload - I was trying (without too much success) to sort out a recording from this broadcast for myself. IIRC, his symphony was most enjoyable so let's hope this is more of them same
