Walther von Goethe (1818-1885), grandson and last living descendant of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, was a composer and court chamberlain. His German wikipedia entry has a partial work list, and there is a concert of his songs and piano pieces, also works by other composers, on Youtube with soprano Paula Bär-Giese, accompanying herself on the Lyraflügel, Benedictus Schleip, Berlin ca 1848. The full concert is available on Soundcloud.

I am delighted to report that a new release by Duo Arnicans on the Prima Classic label – "Dream", with works for piano and cello – contains recordings of three pieces by Carita von Horst: Barcarolle, Sarabande, Poème d'Amour. Sound bites on Presto Music.

Victor Hugo's fifth child, his daughter Adèle, was a composer and set some of her father's poems to music. From the Presto music website:

This album pays homage to the composer Adele Hugo (1830-1915), the fifth child of the great poet Victor Hugo. Suffering from lifelong psychological instability, she spent half of her tragic life in mental institutions, from the age of 42 until her death aged 85. Hers was an exalted and sensitive temperament; she became passionately fond of music from an early age, studying the piano and then composition. Her musical manuscripts were recently rediscovered, and the Director of the Victor Hugo Museums in Paris and Guernsey entrusted them to composer Richard Dubugnon, so as to research and reconstruct the jigsaw of these often quite fragmentary scores, which had been lying forgotten for more than a century. What has emerged is a set of fourteen of her songs on poems by Victor Hugo and verses taken from his great novel Les Miserables, as well as five songs without words. Appropriately, the Orchestre Victor Hugo and its Music Director Jean-Francois Verdier have been involved in the project, and they invited Dubugnon to orchestrate the pieces, presented here by a multi-generational team of leading singers.

On the page referred to as Guardia Superiore : 1 v in the internet.culturale link there would appear to be a reference to where the piano part can be found:

La parte del pianoforte sto [?] nel vol. 18 29 7

[according to Hugh Macdonald's new critical edition published by Bärenreiter]

The wording is perhaps slightly misleading. They are the first recordings of these works made according to Hugh Macdonald's new critical edition published by Bärenreiter .

Pianist Nuron Mukumi has released York Bowen's 24 preludes and other piano works on a new disc on the enterprising Swiss label Prospero Classical.

Swiss label Prospero have released a CD with symphonic poems by Saint-Saëns, played by the Sinfonieorchester Basel conducted by Ivor Bolton. The label website states that 'For the first time, they have been recorded here on CD, including the popular «Bacchanale» from Samson et Dalila, according to Hugh Macdonald's new critical edition published by Bärenreiter.'

The enterprising Swiss label Prospero has released a disc with late Romantic choral music with Raphael Immoos and the Basler Madrigalisten. Works by Huber, Suter, Hegar, Walter, Courvoisier, Moser, Moeschinger, Beck.

Information from the booklet notes:
Beer-Walbrunn dedicated the sonata to the violinist Felix Berber (1871-1930) and the pianist Bernard Stavenhagen (1862-1914), who gave it its splendid premiere in Munich in 1906 and went on to perform it over the following seasons to growing acclaim. It was published by Wunderhorn in 1911.
Op. 3 was published in 1899 by C. F. Peters, it was first performed by Beer-Walbrunn, piano, and the violin virtuoso Josef Hösl (1869-1941) in Munich in around 1904.

A new CD with works for violin and pino by Anton Beer-Walbrunn has just been released by Bayer Records, with world premiere recordings of:

Kleine Fantasie für Violine und Klavier g-moll (1891) op. 3
Sonate für Violine und Klavier d-moll (1905) op. 30
6 Melodien nach deutschen Volksliedern für Violine und Klavier in leichter Bearbeitung (1915) op. 42/3

Ursula Schoch, violin and Marcel Worms, piano.

The CD is not yet available through the usual channels, but it can be obtained for a special price of 15 EUR plus p&p from:

How is that for enterprise?

The Winterstein-Theater in Annaberg-Buchholz in Saxony is showing the first German production of Balfe's Satanella. The premiere was tonight as I have just discovered by chance.

The first time ever that an orchestral work by Taneyev is played in the Vienna Konzerthaus, this Saturday: Symphony no. 4.

I am in touch, off and on, with Massimo Favento, the cellist on these recordings, and hope he has a suggestion as to how to get hold of these CDs.

I for one wouldn't mind at all if there were recordings of Moór's symphonies available.

As I thought, this is a private release that is not available commercially. It may be worth contacting Amadeus Vertrieb, though, as a few individual copies may be available from them:
