I can always print out another one as more information becomes available.  I'd still like to get the remaining movements of the Reuss G minor quartet for that CD.  As I said, I coupled a Reuss string work with each of the Hiller piano and strings works, which pairings turned out oddly appropriate.

I don't know if cpo will release the Hiller works but I guess it. Triendl is almost an artist-in-residence with cpo, isn't he?

[Mark Thomas]

I agree, but they have such a huge pile of unreleased recordings that I'd be surprised if we saw a commercial release from them for two or three years at the very least. The Gouvy symphonies CD which they've just announced today was recorded in 2008.

Has any of you recordings of music by Friedrich Metzler (1910-79)?
I heard his Cello Concerto as a teenager in concert and have never encountered his name again so far.

I agree, but they have such a huge pile of unreleased recordings that I'd be surprised if we saw a commercial release from them for two or three years at the very least.

And I have such a huge pile of unheard recordings...
They as a record company have probably the same psychological 'problem'as I, a private person: record everything you can get hold of so as not to miss a chance.
I don't know if I will ever listen to all my music - they don't know if they will ever release all their music.

(At the serious risk of being told off for a digression )

I have a similar problem in that I can honestly say that I listen to everything I get but often only once

[Mark Thomas]

Ich auch.

But to return to the music...

Sorry if that's redundant, I couldn't remember if we have that information yet or not. (This may be from the same concert as the broadcast, and contains some program notes, though they don't answer all the questions- like "when-abouts-and-around was it written?..." - apparently it wasn't premiered until 2000, which is interesting if not unfortunately unusual. Oh ok- someone already posted that- thank you. Sorry!
Also, wow- Wetz and Urspruch (now if I just had a vocal score to the Urspruch- one does have one for his Tempest opera, perhaps that will be staged if the material hasn't been lost...)
Which makes me wonder tangentially if Neuendorff's  (German-American, I think, conductor-composer) opera The Ratcatcher of Hamelin (vocal score at Library of Congress and IMSLP) has been done too... anyway. An embrace of riches and my iPod is almost full as it is...

Arbuckle, via Albion, so many thanks for the Urspruch Das Unmöglichste von Allem. I've been away for the weekend and so was unable to record it. Wonderful!

[Alan Howe]

Yes, thanks seconded!

[Arbuckle]

very welcome
