The two piano concertos have been recorded before on Sterling. Do we know which overtures are included in this new CPO release?

Alan Howe

The  couplings are these five items:

Fackeltanz ('Torch Dance') for Orchestra
Ein Wintermärchen: Overture (to Shakespeare's 'A Winter's Tale') - probably incidental music
Die Witwe Grapin (opera): Overture
Rübezahl (opera): Overture
Alessandro Stradella (opera): Overture

I'll certainly be ordering this, both for the PCs and these orchestral works.

Mark Thomas

I don't want duplicates of the concertos, but I'll certainly download some of the overtures.

Just received my copy. Hugely entertaining all round. Unterhaltungsmusik of a high order.
