Well, we all gotta be somewhere.......

Has Dubois's music been properly cataloged?

I have a recording of Theodore Dubois 1837-1924, violin concerto.  It was composed in 1897 and is on the BNL label.  The violinist is Frederick Pelassy with the National Philharmonic Orchestra, Kosice. It is a delightful work. Dubois won The Prix de Rome in 1861.

You forgot unwritten but in-practice rule one about this forum, I think- music outside the ambit of this forum may be mentioned, so long as the mention is brief, and more or less negative.
Ah well, erm?
As to the Dubois, it was published in 1897, not sure when it was composed. Seems to be a good piece from the orchestral score/parts (w/o solo part) I've seen, I haven't yet heard it.

Very nice indeed - although we already have a recording of PC2:

The Hyperion recording is not on a period instrument so the sound is [in my opinion.. for the 2nd concerto] way better than the previous recording!

You are probably right. My post was for information purposes only.

Actually, we'd prefer no mention at all. As for negativity - well, there's plenty of music which I personally like but which falls outside our guidelines. We just want to keep UC within manageable boundaries that conform to our shared preferences...

The excerpts at Hyperion's website sound magnificent. Another must-buy!
