I am not sure if I am allowed to make this request on this site - but it is in the cause of an Unsung Composer! I am researching Bortkiewicz for my MA and I have read of a review (on the Amazon Website) of Lionel Salter's in Gramophone April 1965 where he reviews the Marjorie Mitchell recording of the Piano Concerto No 1. It is a negative review. Finding reviews on Bortkiewicz is difficult. I can't access this review online as I am not a subscriber to the Gramophone Archive - but I wondered whether any member has this review or could e-mail me a copy of the review. I have done other searches through the OU library and so on but I cannot locate the review. I would like to use it to show how the reception of Bortkiewicz's music has changed - how musicological thinking and general taste has also created a context for a more sympathetic reception of Mr B. I would be very grateful if anyone can help me in this matter.
Many thanks
David
