2025 Unsung Concerts

[Alan Howe]

Thanks for these notifications, Auberio, and welcome to Unsung Composers!

I'm sure that Mark Thomas will be interested to read of the upcoming performance of Raff's 11th Symphony, especially in view of the fact that Neeme Järvi has recorded two of the composer's symphonies for Chandos in the past. Details here:

Not many people showed up for Magnard's 3rd Symphony. Botstein thanked us for showing up - he said he didn't expect anyone to show up.

Tonight in Boston a rare performance of Sibelius' opera the Maiden in the Tower. They claim it's the American Premiere.

Just shows how little people really know of the repertoire - and their unwillingness to try out something unfamiliar.

It's very heartening that Järvi has continued his enthusiasm for Raff's symphonies, even one of the weaker ones, but I know of no plans for him to continue recording them, unfortunately. Still, it's a beguiling thought.
