Reinecke Symphonies

[JimL]

Alan has said exactly what I think about Reinecke. But... I don't know his Cello Concerto. How much I love to hear that work. I only know this excerpt. And that sounds very promising, also thanks to Michael Samis's wonderful playing (did Michael write the cadenza himself?).

The cadenza, I believe, was composed either by Reinecke himself, or, more likely, the dedicatee of the concerto, Friedrich Grützmacher.

This may seem a silly and pointless question but in all this about "was regarded for a time as the natural successor to Beethoven and Schumann" as a symphonist... etc...- Raff, Reinecke, etc. - out of curiosity, was Kalliwoda (Jan, not his son Wilhelm) ever considered even for the top 10 in the running? Just curious now somehow! (This inquiry is meant in a light-hearted mood and from an enjoyment of all three composers, not out of any sour spirit! And past tense- not how do we consider them now...)
