The Romantic Cello Concerto - Vol 7.

[Gareth Vaughan]

Yes, I noticed Zielke's edition of the Konzertstuck. As far as I can make out I think the University of Hamburg Thieriot archive has full scores, and maybe parts for two of his cello concertos. I think they have only piano scores for the others, but Zielke is an expert on Thieriot and may know where the performance material for the others can be found.

Ropartz's "Rhapsodie" is performed by Henri Demarquette on a Timpani CD (with other orchestral works).

Just re-auditioning Fitzenhagen CC2 on Oehms. I'm afraid it's no great shakes as a piece of music: there are some powerful moments, but they sound rather incongruous in the context of a virtuoso showpiece. Certainly worth recording, but there must be better stuff than this...

Americans - in addition to Foote, G F Boyle, C M Loeffler and Henry Hadley all apparently wrote cello concertos......

Hadley, I believe is a one movement concertpiece (I have the piano/cello score).  Loeffler, as I believe we have discussed before, seems to be lost...

I would be curious to hear Fritz Kauffmann Op. 29, score available at IMSLP. I would expect some Brahms influence there.

The Frederick Stock Cello Concerto would be a fantastic entry, as would George Frederick McKay's Concerto.

I'd love to hear the Foote Concerto with a 1st class soloist and orchestra

Hear, hear! And played with élan.

[Christopher]

Personally I would like to hear the Vassili Zolotarev concerto.  Allegedly it has been recorded on a 78 in 1943 on a Soviet label called Radio Tower - Alexandr Stogorsky with the Moscow Regional Symphony Orchestra under Grigori Gamburg....

[Gareth Vaughan]

Do you know the whereabouts of the Mckay and Stock concertos? They are not in Fleisher.

[cypressdome]

The manuscript score and parts for Stock's cello concerto are in the Rosenthal Archives of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

[Gareth Vaughan]

Thanks. That's good to know.

[Alan Howe]

By McKay I assume we mean G. F. McKay. His music, though excellent, would be beyond UC's remit - as would, say, Walton's or Barber's. The test: would Hyperion consider his music for their RCC series? I can't see it...

[minacciosa]

McKay's music is firmly within the Walton or Barber/Flagello order. Much of his music is published, but many larger works are not, though they are readily available from the family publishing firm. I have the material for the Cello Concerto, and will be happy to forward a score.

[Alan Howe]

Thanks. Very good of you. But, as I said, this won't be suitable for Hyperion's Romantic Cello Concerto series. Let's hope they might record it anyway.

Returning to the RCC series...
