Joseph Rheinberger -Not Just Organ Music-

[Jonathan]

...the D-flat sonata that Jonathan mentions. Is a publisher's name handy?

Hi Chill319,
it was published by Rob Forgerg in Leipzig, obviously many years ago as the music has certainly seen better days!  It lists lots of other works by other composers we are familiar with here, e.g. Reinecke, Jadassohn, Henselt and Hiller, to name but four.
Hope this helps!

Indeed, it was published by Rob Forberg and sold for 3Mk.50pf. according to my copy.

I think this one will be the first i will have a go at. Looks reasonably straight forward and easier than the Romantische Sonata.

At my church here in Manhattan, St Mary the Virgin, the choir occasionally sings a Mass by Rheinberger which is absolutely beautiful. Rich full choral writing and lovely harmonies. I would be interested in hearing more of his music.

Hello jhudock,
The Wallenstein op10 is the symphony no1.  I quote from the booklet:
"Early in 1866, Rheinberger began working on a Symphony that he titled 'Wallenstein' - Symphonic Tone Painting in D minor for Large Orchestra op10 ...."
The work is a cross between symphonic poem & symphony, with the 4 movements entiotled : Vorspiel (14'53"),Thekla (12'34"), Wallensteins Lager (11'09"), Wallensteins Tod (16'19")
Rheinberger also wrote a Fantasia for Orchestra op79.

Thanks for the info Marcus. I'm a little disappointed that there is not an unrecorded Sym #1 out there somewhere.

I have his four piano trios and plan to have one performed in the 2011-12 season at Conway Hall in London.
I don't understand why they are so little known

New CD, but are the performances new or reissues of performances that were released on 2 CDs on the label Signum in 1994-5 or so? (I've heard some but not all of them. The reissue is welcome, of course.)

Ah, I didn't know the Signum release, sorry...

Can you give details of the CD, please? Record company and where it may be purchased. It looks like a reissue of the performance on Signum - which is no bad thing, since that disk is deleted and currently appears offered for "silly" prices.

It's on Christophorus. MDT will soon have it. http://www.mdt.co.uk/MDTSite/product//CHE1532.htm

What about the Piano Quintet in C major. Talk about unsung! I have only found one recording of this on Thorofon. It is a beautiful piece with heartwarming melodies that would remind you of Dvorak.
