If the recording companies were watching...

[saxtromba]

Cheating a little by counting opera albums as one CD....

CD 1: Anton Rubinstein: The Merchant Kalashnikoff (I could do a whole long list of Rubinstein works, but I'll stick to just one for now).
CD2: Gabriel Von Wayditch: Buddha (or any other opera by this all-too-neglected figure).
CD 3 (okay, I'll be marginally realistic just this once): Paul Creston, Symphony #6.

[Alan Howe]

We certainly know that the recording industry keeps an eye on this site, yes. Mum's the word, however...

For CD3 - I'll have to have a think and get back to you...

[shamokin88]

When I think of all the things we take for granted that weren't recorded when I started . . . .

I could go on. At length.

To spare us, though, I would like to see recorded the four string quartets by Jerzy Fitelberg.

Ditto the Hora Mystica Symphony by Charles Martin Loeffler.

And the two symphonies by Paul Juon, one finished, one not.

[Gareth Vaughan]

Dora Bright Piano Concerto
Rosalind Ellicott Piano Concerto
with orchestral fillers from either

I'd second this WHOLEHEARTEDLY but (a) does the Ellicott concerto still exist? and (b) I've noted before on this forum that the only two orchestral works by Dora Bright that are known to have survived are the 1st PC and the Variations on an Original Theme for piano & orchestra, both in MSS at the RAM. Lyrita were going to record the Dora Bright pieces before they disappeared from view and, although they have (thankfully) reappeared and released their back catalogue on CD there is no sign that the label is undertaking any new recordings.

[erato]

1) Hilding Rosenbergs 5th symphony
2) Hilding Rosenbergs opera oratorio Joseph and his Brethren

[patmos.beje]

Albion's Mackenzie disc and Christo's Stanley Bate disc definitely.

My suggestions would be:

CD1 - W H Bell - Orchestral Music & Vocal Orchestral Works

CD2 - Stanley Bate 2nd and 3rd Violin Concertos and Erik Chisholm Violin Concerto

CD3 - Mackenzie's The Rose of Sharon

[Jimfin]

I quite agree with Shamokin. If we were writing this in 1980, the list would include an awful lot of things that are now recorded. I only wish they were programmed in concerts and on the radio more often. Why the BBC needs so many "pop" stations (and even has a branch of "pop", i.e., jazz on its "classical" station, I'll never know. Pandering to ignorance, I suppose

[Elroel]

The Symphonies of Johann Nepomuk David, especially the Nº 5!!

[Dundonnell]

The Symphonies of Johann Nepomuk David, especially the Nº 5!!

CPO is recording these symphonies   Johannes Wildner conducted the ORFT SO in a recording of Symphonies Nos. 2 and 4 in September 2008 and Symphonies Nos. 1 and 6 in February and March 2011.

When they will be released however only CPO will know

[eschiss1]

I almost feel like putting in a word for some jazz, but in another thread at another time, then (if even necessary).
Agreed- quite a lot of music on my personal 'list' of 2 decades ago has been recorded or even exists in multiple versions now, and some of it (Fuchs' 3rd symphony, e.g., which I saw in score less than a year coincidentally before the Thorofon recording was released) has shown up in concert at least a time or two (thanks, Leon Botstein.) (And trolling things like Concertzender Live and this and that else shows that there's always a little more being performed, etc. than one thought - and I still wish I had been visiting Manchester (I never have) when the Danel Quartet was playing Weinberg that year... well, I said that.)
Still looking for commercial recordings of , among other things- (actually, in most cases of these, I have no recordings except maybe MIDIs...)

*a good and listenable recording of Myaskovsky's violin sonata op.70.
*Golubev chamber works, especially the string quartets (e.g. nos. 8, 9, 18, 19.)
*Hessenberg chamber works (especially string quartets 3 in A and 4 in e.)
*More Stanford late chamber works (most are in manuscript, I know.) And a good commercial recording of No.3 in D minor.
*Substantial works by Emanuel Moór (symphonies, string quartets, etc.)
*Hegar concertos (the string quartet @IMSLP - if I may mention - sounds good and surprising, too.)
*Manuscript works by Frédéric Louis Ritter (concertos, symphonies, ...)
*Likewise those by David Stanley Smith (actually, his quartets, symphonies, sonatas generally...)
*Scontrino's quartets!

That'll do for a very start...

Edward, do you have non-commercial recordings of the Fitelberg Quartets? If not I would be glad to upload a performance of the 2nd Quartet.

May I respectfully ask contributors not to post lists, but three CDs' worth of music - much more helpful to any casual visitor to this site...

The very reason why I found this an impossible task   (I am still trying to whittle it down to three )
