I think this must mean CPO will be releasing the disk before too long. I certainly hope so.

[Aramiarz]

Interesting release. are there Other work by Holbrooke with his name : "Grashopper"?
Isn't one violin sonate from him? I remember one Cd with this name.

[Gooseguy]

[Aramiarz]

Yes! You are right!

[Gareth Vaughan]

The "Grasshopper" Concerto exists in three versions: the orchestral concerto; the piano/violin score (with some small alterations to the violin part) which Holbrooke called Violin Sonata No. 2 "The Romantic"; a later version of the concerto with a reduced orchestra (no significant changes to the solo violin part).

[Aramiarz]

Dear friends, thank You for their comments, It's curious that exist 3 versions of one work in differents size. Someone remember Other case?

[Aramiarz]

Surely, Holbrooke appreciate very much this work!

[Gareth Vaughan]

A lot of Holbrooke's works exist in more than one version. One of the problems with cataloguing Holbrooke, as I have said before, is that the same work not infrequently appears with a different title and/or opus number, and the same opus number is sometimes given to more than work.
