Title: Gustav Schreck - Nonet for wind quintet and strings
Post by: britishcomposer on Thursday 13 February 2020, 21:15
Dear members,

last Sunday MDR Kultur broadcast a Nonet by Gustav Schreck.
I would like to upload the recording but hesitate for two reasons.
The announcer told that it was recorded by members of the MDR Symphony Orchestra and Philharmonie Gera-Altenburg for the MDR.
I am not sure if this is a coproduction with a record label. In that case an upload would discourage potential buyers.
I know, this is not handled that strictly here at UC so you might talk me round...

Another more troubling question: this is NOT the Nonet op. 40 but another unpublished one for strings and wind quintet.
The announcer didn't give an opus number nor a key nor a date of composition. She explained that it was performed from a fair copy located at the Leipziger Bach Archiv.
I tried to google for more information - in vain so far.
Perhaps there are members around with better sleuthing skills?

Our usual practice, of course, is to delete uploads of broadcasts as soon as there is word of a commercial release. In this case, the decision is entirely yours...

I'll leave the sleuthing to others better suited to the task.

And my wish was evidently Gareth's command.

A recording of a broadcast doesn't have the audio quality of a good commercial CD, of course, so most discerning members would want the latter in the long run, I'm sure.

Thanks, Gareth!
Guess I did right in cutting short my musicology studies some twenty years ago...
Will upload the file tomorrow.

Yes, thanks.  'Christus, der Auferstandene' was most impressive.  I also ordered a bassoon sonata of Herr Prof. Dr. Schreck's, but haven't listened to it yet...

What a charming, lyrical work this Nonet is. A real pleasure, as are his Bassoon and Oboe Sonatas.
