I have just uploaded a recording of this broadcast, waiting to be approved

Thank you so much for uploading this. I wonder if it might be the precursor to a commercial recording.

I am in full agreement, Alan. It's a lovely work, full of rich harmonies, and very sensitively played by Mark Anderson.

Thanks, Eric. I wonder how this compares to previous recordings. I suppose it will be highly regarded, but I can't afford to 'double-up'. The Linos versions were well-received as I recall. I have the old ASV disc of the Farrenc. Whilst this is a welcome UC disc, I get the feeling that CPO are a bit late to the party.

On the basis of these soundbites, it could easily be mistaken for Schumann.... their mutual respect is obvious, I think.

Pure personally, Hiller is one of those composers who could always put a smile on my face.

I agree wholeheartedly. The symphonies at last on CPO is a happy thought.

I'm really looking forward to this. Thank you for the notice. It's pleasing to see that more of Moór is becoming available.

Thanks for this notice, Tapiola. What I've heard of McKay's music, I've enjoyed enormously, so I'm looking forward to this release.

That accounts for my confusion! It's not always down to age 

Thanks for noticing this, Alan. Norman's chamber music seems to have been badly neglected by the CD companies, and this is a very welcome disc. I see it's another three weeks before the digital downlaod is available.

And, thank you to the people at Heritage Quay - always helpful.

Very intriguing and deserving of success!

Yes, indeed. The more Novak the better, IMHO. 

Thank you, amadeucorbera! That concert sounds a most enjoyable prospect.

Welcome to UC, amadeucorbera, and thank you for that interesting post. Do you by any chance know the style of Cicely Foster's music? UC is dedicated to 'unsung' composers and compositions specifically in the Romantic style, and we have yet to establish whether Cicely Foster's music falls into that category.

Thanks for that, Eric. To be honest, I had no idea that he was still alive.
Just checking through, I seem to have far more music under his baton than I imagined - Novak, Nedbal, etc.., plenty of fine, largely 'unsung' pieces.

Yes, thank you, Wheesht.

BTW, Hristić's Four Orchestral Suites from the ballet Ohridska Legenda (The Legend of Ohrid) appear on CPO.
