Mahler 7 and Bruckner 9.  Of the unsungs, I'm still partial to Alfred Hill's Symhony #2 in Eb - The Joy of Life......

Maybe I'm a lightweight......

I have tapes of both Merrick Concertos which came from the RRE discs.  I would be happy to share them when I get back to Minnesota in another month or so.

Jerry

Am I missing something here?  I went to the YouTube locations mentioned above  and could only get the message that "This is a private video".   Can't listen or download.  ?

I have, on tape, recordings of Merrick's Piano Concerto #1 in Bb and Piano Concerto #2 (key signature unknown to me).  Both are in a late romantic idiom.  Know nothing of a two piano concerto.

Lovely piece - thanks Hammyplay.....and Albion

And be cautious about insulting old fuddy duddys that ramble - you have us among you......

Thanks, Amphissa.

Thanks Jim.  But I can translate the Spanish.  But which concerto belongs to which composer?

One further question - since I bought the download, there are no liner notes or booklet to refer to.  The tracks do not identify which concerto is by which composer and a search of the net for Breton's violin concerto doesn't seem to yield a key signature.  one is in "Si amor" and the other in "La menor"  -which is which?

Tobias??

Surfing around the web this morning, I came across what appears to be a fairly obscure recording of Spanish Romantic Violin Concertos by Tomas Breton and Jesus Monasterio (1836-1903).  Quite lovely pieces.  Which of course got me to delving further and finding that there is a recording, probably out of print, of Breton's Symphony #2 in Eb on the Newport Label.  Prices for this seem to run in the $100 range.  Does anyone know where one could obtain this for a reasonable price?

We heard a lot of Sibelius when stanislaw skrowaczewski was here.  Including a large scale performance of Kullervo.  Not so much since altho now that Vanksa is here we are getting more and more Finnish music.

Golly, remote old Minnesota may win this........heehee.....

To the best of my recollection, the Mn. Orchestra did "Sea Drift" years and years ago and the Minnesota Opera Company did "A Village Romeo and Juliet" - also many, many years ago.  That's it, I think.

DuPont also write a Konzertstucke for piano and orchestra, opus 42

Saturday morning - it looks to be fixed.  Thanks so much Mark.  We are really spoiled not having to log in each visit....
