...is to be broadcast on BBC Radio 3 on Tuesday 15th January at 16.00. The performers are Victor Sangiorgio (piano) with the BBC Concert Orchestra under Johannes Wildner. Looks like a probable future Dutton release to me (Sangiorgio recorded the Godard PCs for them).
Will someone be recording this, just in case Dutton doesn't??

I like this news. Thank you. :)
I hope to record it, Jerry.
I hope they provide the movement information on the broadcast!
Radio 3 announcers rarely do.
One of the branches of the British Library (St. Pancras) has the 2nd edition (1925?) of the Schott reduced score (first pub.1921) (Concerto symphonique pour piano et orchestra. (La partie d'orchestre réduite pour un second piano) ... Seconde édition. [Score.]) (The Library of Congress, RAM (1956? might be 3rd edition...), and U. Colorado Boulder also have copies of one or another version of this, I think.) While it may cost a lot to get a photocopy made, maybe there's some other solution that would result in one's having the desired information (movement headers...) ?

Sometimes it is worth asking me as in my loft I have 62 crisp boxes full of piano concerto scores and the d'Erlanger is in my "E" box. Movements are:
I - Maestoso
II - Scherzo
III - Moderato assai
IV - Moderato ma appassionato
Concertingly,
Thal
Thanks! Does the Scherzo have a tempo indication?
It is Marcato e staccato.
Thal
A pleasant half hour listening to this.
Powerful, dramatic, melodic and 100% tonal. Perhaps not the highest of craft, but well worth a 2nd listen.
Looking forward to a commercial release.
Thal
I agree, a very engaging piece, rather strongly influenced by Rachmaninov, but none the worse for that. If you liked his Violin Concerto, then you'll love this too. I have now uploaded it to the Downloads board here (http://www.unsungcomposers.com/forum/index.php/topic,4052.0.html).
Thal, I have had to guess where the third/fourth movement break is as they are played attacca. Could you check if my guess is correct, please, and let me know if it isn't? Ta.
Pray, what key is it in?
If I knew, I'd have included it in my post. Perhaps Thal can help.
Mark,
Many tks for the impressive 'speed of upload' service. Look forward to downloading/listening tomorrow.
Best wishes
Richard

Starts in g minor and ends in g major.

Just a couple of seconds out as you have the last bar of the 3rd movement in the 4th, but to change it as per the score would lessen the listening experience.
Thal
Thanks, Thal. Not a bad guess then - I'll leave well alone. I've amended the listing to show that the work is in G minor.
Repeated listenings have made this more and more of a "hit" with me.
I think you Brits have commented about this repeatedly, but I was struck at how blase the announcer was about the whole thing. No excitement about 'this being the first performance of d'Erlanger's concerto since 19??" or anything of that nature. Good thing I'm not the host - the intro would probably take almost as long as the work itself...... ::) ::) ::)

They are a little reserved on Radio 3. Perhaps they should borrow that chap who announces darts matches:
"Arrrre youuuuu readddyyyy. Letsss plllayyyy d'Erlangerrrrrrrrr"
As with you, a 2nd & 3rd listening have increased my appreciation. Hopefully a work that will not be "dropped".
