Grimm Symphony/Suite in Kanonform (cpo)

[Alan Howe]

Conductor Golo Berg has kindly told us that cpo are shortly to release his recording of Julius Otto Grimm's Symphony in D minor, coupled with same composer's Suite in Kanonform.

To consult our previous thread on the Symphony, please follow this link:

Following the release of the CD, the download of the radio broadcast will, of course, cease to be available from this website.

This will be a treat.

Indeed it will - and many thanks to Golo Berg for giving us notice of its forthcoming release.

As I recall that the consensus here seems to have been disappointment (perhaps caused by initially extremely high initial expectations, but then, perhaps not!), hopefully the cpo release will improve matters, ...

[eschiss1]

btw how close to the release of a disc does it usually appear on this page which seems to provide the earliest info on the site? I suppose one way to find out will be to check regularly for when "Grimm" appears among the composers...

[eschiss1]

one other question: Grimm wrote at least two suites in the form of a canon, perhaps 3 (no.1 in C for strings is op.10, no.2 in G for full orchestra is Op.16. There's a suite no.3 for strings, not sure at the moment if it's also "in Canonform", op.25) . Is it clear which was meant?

[Alan Howe]

I guess we'll find out more when the CD is officially announced for release. We don't have a firm date - and the conductor may not actually have the exact details. His message to me reads 'soon'.
