Thieriot, chamber music-- volume 3!

[Mark Thomas]

Details please, Eric.

Ahh. My mistake.
It -is- listed on Worldcat, but actually, "commercially" would imply I could find it being sold somewhere, and I'm not sure about that. The whole thing is available over YouTube from the Swiss Orthopaedic Quartet (the performing group), who've also recorded Vinzenz Lachner and Reissiger (quartet Op.70) works - maybe they make them available somewhere else besides YouTube, or maybe they one of those arrangements with YouTube that earns them some money-for-views. Don't know.

According to this article (I have found it just now and haven't even read it properly yet), there is indeed a CD. Great project by the way!

[Alan Howe]

How can one purchase the CD, I wonder?

[Wheesht]

It may be semi-privately distributed. The publisher of the printed music, Amadeus Verlag in Winterthur, may have information. According to that article they have a huge collection of sheet music, collected from antiquarian/second hand dealers, for over 10 000 works.
Here's the link to the Thieriot quartet.

[Alan Howe]

Yes, I spotted their website - and you're probably right about distribution.

[Wheesht]

I have written to them and will report here once I have heard back from them.

[Alan Howe]

Vielen Dank!

[Wheesht]

As I thought, this is a private release that is not available commercially. It may be worth contacting Amadeus Vertrieb, though, as a few individual copies may be available from them:

Thanks for this suggestion.

It's strange to have gotten so late in the day before making the acquaintance of a composer of this quality, but there you have it.  This a fine disc (aside from some shaky intonation now and then, but it's tolerable).  Now I am backfilling with whatever else is available, the happiest new discovery since Gernsheim.

[FBerwald]

I'm a bit confused. Why is this a private release? Isn't it already release by Toccata?

My comment was on the thread topic of the new Toccata recording, not the off-topic chat about the private release of some other recording of something else -- perhaps the 1st piano quartet?.

I know exactly what you mean. With Thieriot we're about a decade (or more) behind Gernsheim as far as recordings are concerned. We've not even touched his orchestral music yet - apart from the odd computerised production.
