Title: Ernst Rudorff Symphony No.2
Post by: eschiss1 on Sunday 24 November 2024, 20:07
(I thought I remembered a _commercial_ recording of the 2nd symphony on CD, but I see that of the 2 recordings of his music released commercially in the 2010s, one was of chamber music and piano music  - the other was of his 3rd.)

I was specifically referring to this recording (a run-through, it seems) of Rudorff's G minor (2nd) symphony by a community orchestra in Brooklyn:

Edit: I've cleaned this up a bit and made it available in the downloads section.

Just thought it'd be worth starting a separate thread for Symphony No.2...

Thanks, Ilja, for directing us to the only available recording - so far!

Here's a link to Musikproduktion Höflich's preface to the score:

Thank you, Ilja, very much for your work on the recording of Rudorff's 2nd! Of cause, the flaws could not be eliminated totally, but it has improved by your editing, and is much more enjoyable now.
