Chausson Concert in D major - recording of manuscript version?

[Theodore S.]

Hello everyone,

I have a question about a seemingly unknown version of a famous piece, Ernest Chausson's Concert in D major (or Concerto) for violin, piano, and string quartet. There are many recordings of this brilliant work, but every recording I found seems to be of only one version of the Concert. I say "only one version", because it appears that a second (possibly earlier?) version of the Concert exists only in the manuscript score in the Morgan Library, which at time features a dramatically different piano line. The most notable part in my opinion is in the climax in the 3rd movement - while the piano line in the version most frequently recorded and performed has briefly-arpeggiated chords (where the arpeggios only appear as grace note at the beginning of the bar), the manuscript version has arpeggios playing all throughout the bars, and throughout the climax section, resulting in a much more virtuosic and complex piano line than in the version most frequently performed. This difference can be seen in Bartje Bartmans' score video with the manuscript (the recording is the "grace-arpeggio" version, while the manuscript has the "constant-arpeggio" version): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsrypUDnlcw

I understand the reason why most musicians play the "grace-arpggio" version - it is the version that was  printed in the first edition publication. Notwithstanding this, does anyone know of a recording of the Concert using the manuscript version? Both the manuscript and print versions are available to view on IMSLP. And speaking of - the manuscript has a hand-written note in French to the editors, which I would have loved to have been able to read, if it gives any clue as to these discrepencies (if I only spoke French).

Perhaps this doesn't belong in the "Recordings and Broadcasts" channel, but I'm really interested to hear a recording which follows the manuscript version. I would love to hear what you all have to say!

P.S. - I apologize if this has already been discussed on the forum. It's possible it has, but that I simply haven't seen it yet.
