Thank you, Atsushi, for the Fabritius VC! I had an old cassette tape and wanted to make a new recording but my internet connection broke down.
Here are the tempo indications of the three movements:

Ernst Fabritius

Violin concerto in D Minor Op. 7

1. Maestoso
2. Larghetto
3. Rondo: Vivace grazioso

[Mark Thomas]

Thanks for this BC.

  britishcomposer,  Thanks to post tempo indications of Fabritius.
  I had never been known about this composer, but this is very good romantic style concerto, in my view!

Used Google translate and tweaked it to obtain this attempt at a brief English biography of Fabritius from his Finnish-Wikipedia bio. (A brief list of published works I can attempt to compile at another time...)

Ernst Fredrik Fabritius (July 2, 1842 - October 8, 1899) was a Finnish composer, violinist, and an estate-owner (minor nobleman?).

Fabritius studied at the Leipzig Conservatory from 1857 to 1861. He gave concerts all over Finland successfully, but suddenly stopped his violin-playing career in 1864. He worked as a civil servant in fiscal matters for awhile, but soon moved over to Agriculture.  He continued to play and compose for a hobby.

Fabritius was also a journalist with some notable publications.

Perhaps of no interest, but I am uploading a recording of

Palmgren is certainly of interest- thank you.

I say, well done that man. I was hoping someone had captured this.

I would love to have a go at this myself, but regretfully me score is under the Christmas tree and I am not allowed to touch it. Me lovely old mum agreed to pay my bill at the FMIC, the downside being I am not allowed to look at the scores until Christmas Day.

What an excellent uplifting work.
