I guess we'll have to ask Adriano for the story behind it. I have the suspicion he was involved!

on YouTube there is a Cui piece of his Orchestral Suite No. 4. Very Russian sounding!

I would rate it as very listenable as well as Manfred.

I am interested and don't care. I want the recording set

I have already put in a request for a digital copy of the Rott which I hope to receive earlier. Who cares about cover anyway?

I had the opportunity to listen to "The Voyevoda" as a filler piece on a "Manfred Symphony" release. The 20-minute work while certainly not by an unsung composer Tchaikovsky is certainly one of his seldom played works.

Something I can highly recommend is CD# 8.555242 Orchestral works of Liadov 10 tracks of pure heaven which I will comment on. As many know and not a part of this section of the forum my collection of 3000 CD's was dumpsterized (is that a word?) by my daughter. This CD showed up on my doorstep and is gladly welcomed?

I've not heard them

I was not disappointed in the least in the recording. It is a fine symphony they handled quite well especially the third movement

I just received a digital file of the CPO recording and it is a fine one although I have nothing to compare it with. Someone said to me she is a female Beethoven which I don't think so. She has her own unique style.

Alas, the old one on Marco Polo # 8223117. Walter and the Rhemish one of the few that didn't get thrown out. While not necessarily the best quality I had over 100 of them in my collection including Arensky, Spohr, Moyzes, Faneli (our Adriano), and tons of others.

If anyone has info archive.org does. Found a program where they played it. I'm interested in it too.

Continuing on my Unsung/Symphonic Poems I'm listening to Reinecke's King Manfred Overture. Probably one many of you haven't heard before.

Naxos 8.555242
Do you have it? Could you make a digital file?

Other than losing everything in my CD collection I had, I have some of my health back. I wanted to listen to my Liadov CD this morning which included Enchanted Lake another unsung tone poem this morning. Oh well.
