Arthur Hinton: Piano Concerto in D minor – score & parts in the possession of American pianist, Dan Franklin Smith (http://www.danfranklinsmith.com/) who edited it. Also published Full Score (Fischer, 1920) in Guildhall School of Music & Drama, UK. Published 2-piano score in RCM, RAM, Oxford (Bodleian), Trinity College Dublin and BL.

Artur Lemba: 5 concertos (all MSS and some performance material at Estonian Music Information Center)

The Hinton Concerto and concertos by Lemba are actually recorded.
The Hinton concerto can be heard here, played by Dan Franklin Smith himself, conducted by the late Christopher Fifield and played by his Lambert Orchestra.

Soviet LPs transfers of Lemba concertos are all available on YT, and there's even a Chandos recording of the relatively substantial First（not many of them exceed even 20 mins！）

Frank Merrick: 2 piano concertos (MS performance materials in University of Bristol Library).

Merrick's 2nd I remember to have listened to by streaming

Hugo Kaun:    Piano Concerto No. 1, Op. 50 – score & parts in Fleisher
              Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor, Op. 115 – score & parts in Fleisher

Kaun's second were simulated by Walter Zielke (the Albis Music that made simulations of some of Thieriot's symphonies) and posted on IMSLP, but not in its entirety: The latter half of the third movement was not included and the simulation fades out halfway through that movement

Thank you a lot for further investigating into this matter!

When I was searching for Melartin's violin sonatas, I discovered this concert celebrating Erkki Melartin's 150th birth anniversary:
https://holvi.com/shop/KOKONAINEN/product/dd2a26ac570aedee4a1d76224e1efeb2/

May 14th at Hakasalmen huvila, Helsinki, the spotlight is Melartin's First Violin Sonata, Op. 10 from 1899, described as a 40-minute long big work.

This work may quite well be unrecorded. And I found Melartin's piano chamber music in general was little explored.

That was a good news for a streamer like me when I discovered that release last year, since in the old release the Symphonic Music II was set as unavailable, though a different archive recording was being circulated on the YT......

Oh, the cello sonata is a quite boring piece of chromatic sludge to me the last time (and the first time) I listened to it...

Time to get acquainted with his SQs. Up to now I have only listened to his piano chamber music.

Now that I have listened to Concerto italienne, I have to admit that that work is a more awful note-spinning to me. The chromaticism does not come aid to poor materials.

And this page contains many clips. But especially, two first movements from his two cello sonatas can be heard (Radio France also broadcasted the Scherzo from his first cello sonata, still available from streaming: https://www.radiofrance.fr/francemusique/podcasts/vinyle-classique/le-compositeur-monegasque-louis-abbiate-8551469 from 2:44)

(this also includes clips from the piano sonatas nos 7 & 8!)

Honestly, I don't find his cello music (concerto and sonatas) to be satisfying. As a sucker of (proto-)impressionist late romantic French chamber music, I didn't find much of the modal glamour from these works of his that I wishfully expected......The piano concert piece is ok, I think......

Another of his symphonic poems, Les Illuminations, Op. 25 is in Pogonyi Archive on the Internet Archive. This however was set as unavailable for listening.

Peter C. Dzialo played some of his solo cello works, such as Preludes et fugues (3 each)

And on this disc, an Grande etude symphonique

Abbiate is, understandably, more usually played in Monaco. The cellist Frederic Audibert championed him, and here is his performance of  the Lamento, Op. 109, accompanied by piano

On his account he also published a clip where he was playing Abbiate's Cello Concerto with piano accompaniment.

In this news report, a concert in homage of Abbiate was held in 2017, in which Audibert played. Apparently, one of the works played was Abbiate's Piano Trio (I can't find the full program, unfortunately), which is featured briefly in this clip, but otherwise no recording or video of it was published

Ouch, I didn't listened to the clips from start to finish...

There are still quite a few unrecorded piano quintets by "relatively well-known" unsungs that I'm curious about, Goedicke's, for example. And the pair by Georg Schumann...

By the way, there will be a piano quintet by an Ernst Gernot Klussmann released in June 6th. The date of him and the quintet is decidedly out of remit here. But this op. 1 from 1925, in view of the clips, is also decidedly conservative, in a not-too-final-stage romantic style:

No, it was another Polish member (or so I think) that uploaded it. But I'm really surprised that you still have it! I can't be grateful enough!!
These are two precious new additions to my extensive (to say this oneself is apparently not modest) piano quintet collection.
Spotify users here can search the profile Hyperaticism and see one of the playlists "A Big Pile of Piano Quintets", and on YT, "Piano Quintets unavailable for streaming" playlist is also my creation

Thank you, Mark!

I just discovered that Otto Malling's piano quintet was recorded. Mark Thomas apparently uploaded it here before, but the post that contained the link disappeared from Danish Music thread of Download Archive.

Krogulski's quintet is actually the Sonata for Pno & SQ. This was also uploaded here, taken from a live performance in late 2000s. Unfortunately, the link was expired.

Great! I didn't think of the filter
