Draeseke Violin Concerto update

[FBerwald]

IS there any plans to record this unicorn of a concerto... now that the orchestration has been completed?

[Alan Howe]

In a word: No. Not that I know of.

[Mark Thomas]

That's a great shame. Having gone to the expense of commissioning the orchestration and publishing the score, it's surprising that the International Draeseke Society hasn't organised a performance and a recording. As things stand now, it seems to have been wasted effort. Maybe they are missing the enthusiasm and drive of the late Alan Krueck?

[Gareth Vaughan]

Do I understand that the orchestrated score has been published and, if so, is it possible to obtain a copy?

[musiclover]

Maybe they should send it to someone like Sergey Levitin, the new star violinist in the Dutton stable. His Bortkeiwicz VC recording is stunning.

Do I understand that the orchestrated score has been published

Judging by Alan's post back in 2011, the orchestration should have been published by now, but that's only my assumption Gareth. Alan will know better than me.

[Alan Howe]

The score was published in 2013 by Florian Noetzel Verlag of Wilhelmshaven. Please see page 15 of their catalogue:

[Gareth Vaughan]

Thank you very much, Alan.

[Alan Howe]

I have a copy - it cost me over £100!

[Gareth Vaughan]

Yes. It does look pretty expensive. I might have to save up for mine.
