A good point. So, gentlemen, is it to be the Austrian, Czech or American thread in Downloads to which I move BerlinExpat's post (again)?

Since Weinberger wrote the Symphonic Suite "A Bird's Opera" in 1940 in the USA I would suggest American We do tend to classify European expatriates who settled in the USA as American, do we not

You must download both files before trying to open either one of them. Both files must be in the same folder. Then open the first file and the complete recording will open.

I did what you said, but none of my unpacking programms can handle this. Which programm should I use?

Download 7zip--its free and takes about 30 seconds to install and works better than WinZip. You can get it here:  http://www.7-zip.org/download.html

In the download box there are 9 choices for Download. Use the first one. Once installed place mouse over 1st file and right click on it. Then point mouse to 7zip in menu. The 4th option down says "Extract Here". Click on this and you will have it.

Taking up Dundonnel's advice, I've again moved the download link, this time to the American Music thread in the Downloads board. May it rest in peace.

So Rachmaninov and Stravinsky were Americans too?

A case can be made for that.  Or at least for putting their music under different periods (i.e. 'Russian', 'Paris', 'American', etc.).

Let's not get into a pretty pointless wider discussion. This thread is about Weinberger!

For Kolaboy and any other Jaromir Weinberger fans dreaming of more of his music, here is an orchestral piece called The Bird Opera. It's from the Dutch Radio archives but so far I haven't been able to decipher the announcer's introduction.

I also have a recording of the Dresden Semper Oper production of Svanda dudák if anyone is interested. The Sächsische Staatskapelle (regarded as an experienced Strauß orchestra) sound can't really be bettered.

Thank you B.E. Definitely interested
