I have an old ASV disc of his piano music, and I believe it has those Rhapsodies. Sound quality is very....ah....hammery? and I wonder if this new disc will be a good replacement....

there's been at least one almost-complete set awhile back on Hungaroton, I believe, and other selections, but I agree this is promising... and I personally enjoy most all the Dohnanyi that I have heard, for what that's worth (not yet the operas, I think, but quartets, quintets, sextet (especially!), violin concertos, 2 of the 3 symphonies, serenade for string trio (once live, also on recordings), etc. ...)

[FBerwald]

you men the 2 symphonies... Don't you?

No, he means 2 of the 3.  The student symphony in F was just recorded a while back.  It's on cpo, IIRC.

nope, the student symphony in F (which has been listed among Dohnanyi's symphonies in listings in books (including but not limited to Grove, I believe...) for quite some time; its recording premiere was long awaited by me though I still haven't heard it ) is on Hungaroton- though cpo was planning on doing a Dohnanyi orchestral series of which their recording of the first concerto was an opening salvo, I believe. Maybe they will still continue it.
