[Alan Howe]

I'll certainly be buying this forthcoming CD of Juon's Piano Quintet, Op.44 and Piano Sextet, Op.22:

The Swiss Juon Gesellschaft has announced a forthcoming series by Naxos
dedicated to Juon's orchestral works - commemorating hist 140th birthday.

(There are, however, no signs of this on Naxos' own web site.)

Great news! Can't wait for more Juon.

[Alan Howe]

Indeed, great news. Thanks!

[Ser Amantio di Nicolao]

Awesome, as the kids nowadays say.  Juon was one of my first unsungs.  (Along with Huber - a lovely disc of wind music from Discover, way back when.)

[Gareth Vaughan]

Terrific news - a first rate composer.

On the discography page of the Juon Society http://www.juon.org/0.IJGHomePage_en.html it lists a violin concerto recording but there is a big red X indicating it as "unavailable" - the performers are given as Sibylle Tschopp (violin), Stadtorchester Winterthur, N. Carthy (conducting).

So, the obvious question, does anyone know anything more about this recording?

What other orchestral works did he write that have been recorded?  I have the Mysteries, Episodes Concertants, and Divertimento...

According to Juon.org the Kammersymphonie is also or has also been available on CD. (According to Worldcat: Zürich : Migros-Genossenschafts-Bund, 2006. Coupled with the Piano Quintet in D minor op.33.) There was also a 78 recording of this work in the 1930s.

A one minute "research" gave the following amazon.com hit....
http://www.amazon.com/Swiss-Violin-Concertos-Sibylle-Tschopp/dp/B0033CU458

For 40 bucks it is yours!

that's still commercially "unavailable"- that's someone reselling it out of their own collection used with Amazon serving as a gobetween. They do that. If they're actually selling it out of their own stock and as an available product, they usually say something like "in stock", not "new" or "used".

[violinconcerto]

you mean "more commercially available" like at this shop?

...marked as "out of stock" there as well (((

OK, but why not buying the used copy from amazon?

[eschiss1]

A good idea- sorry, was just nitpicking on a minor point.

This recording was available through streaming for a time, but apparently no more. It's an interesting work but not among Juon's best. A Juon recording I recommend is the Sono Luminus label's Juon Viola Sonata played by Eliesha Nelson and Glen Inanga. I think it's the best version available of that piece.
