I'm so glad to have finally heard this beautiful piece of music!  If you haven't heard it, listen to his symphonic poem 'Othello' from the same orchestra.  It's outstanding!

Thought I should update this...  I've listened to the rhapsody about 20 times now and it keeps getting better with each listen.  This ought to be one of the "classics".  How this, and his other works, aren't incredibly popular, is beyond me.  I would say that this is among Bortkiewicz's best work, although in all fairness, I say that about almost everything I've heard from him.

FYI, That filesonic link is no longer active (they don't allow sharing anymore).  Are those recordings the same as the ones available on the classic-online.ru page?

Can anyone update re: the recording of the Russian Rhapsody?  Also, I've seen an "Olympic Scherzo for Orchestra" mentioned in a few select places.  Anyone know anything about this?

Sorry to bump an old thread with my first post, but does anyone have the ability to post up these Bortkiewicz Violin/Cello concerti one more time?  I would love to hear them.
