...forthcoming from Joseph Moog on Onyx. Unfortunately the coupling's the Grieg:

Toskey confirms that he didn't.

Sure - if you like small-scale early-romantic violin concertos.

I don't have particularly high expectations, but it's a must-buy for me nevertheless. Both works are designated 'Concertino': Op.15 in E major dates from 1844 and Op.133 in A major dates from 1851. So are we dealing here with rather insignificant short pieces or miniature jewels??

...plus three overtures forthcoming from cpo:

Thanks, Giles.
As a matter of interest, in what way - or in what direction - would you have liked it to be more comprehensive?

Sad news that the planned Naxos recording won't be appearing, but great news that there are other plans for this magnificent piece. Do keep us informed as and when you are able...

Exactly. Rasilainen is exceptional.

Thanks for that steer.

Oh, that's good news. Wonder whether it'll turn up as a download-only recording...?

Thanks. Very interesting. There are audio samples here:

I think the issues have now been sufficiently aired, so unless there's a point to be made with respect to unsung composers....

I shan't be buying this. I think the Rasilainen cycle on cpo is excellent in every way - and cheaper.

My perspective reflects the concerns of this website, i.e. the neglect of almost all unsung music from the broad romantic era.
