1  Assorted items / Commercial recordings (vintage, new and forthcoming) / Music for violoncello solo by Reger, Tovey, Busch and Courvoisier on: March 16, 2023, 06:22:45 pm
Cellist Julius Berger has recorded a CD called "Soldanella" with works for violoncello solo from the early 20th century. The  programme consists of Max Reger's Suite op. 131c/2, the Passacaglia from Donald Francis Tovey's Sonata op. 30, the Suite, and the Prelude and Fugue which together form Adolf Busch's op. 8, and the Suite op. 32/2 by Walter Courvoisier, of which Julius Berger played the premiere public performance in 2022. As editor of the last work, this recording makes me especially lucky. The CD is produced by Wergo, and will be released on 17 March:

Felix Draeseke's Sonata quasi Fantasia op. 6 has found a staunch advocate in Charlotte Steppes, a young German pianist from Leipzig. She had played the work several times during the last year, e.g. at the annual conference concert of the International Draeseke Society on 16 October in Bad Rodach. Here you can hear her performance from 20 March 2022 in Leipzig:

The A major quartet op. 50 is in fact the second four-movement sonata-form string quartet Haas wrote. The first is his op. 8 in G minor, a work he composed during his studies with Max Reger. The movements are:

Allegro con moto (un poco agitato), 4/4, G minor
Scherzo: Vivace, 3/8 D major - Piú moderato, 3/8 G major
Larghetto, cantabile e tranquillo, 6/8, E flat major
Allegro con spirito, 2/4 G major

Then there is a Divertimento for string quartet in C major op. 32, published in 1911 and dedicated to Reger. It is in six movements:

Frisch bewegt, 4/4, C major
Langsam, capriciös, 4/4, F sharp minor
Sehr rasch und flüchtig, 3/8, B flat major
Etwas derb; nicht zu schnell, 4/4, B minor
Sehr getragen, mit viel Empfindung, 6/8, E flat major
Keck und übermütig, sehr rasch, 3/4, C major

There is even a seventh symphony extant: the Symphony in B flat minor, written in the 1880s, performed a few times, but then withdrawn. The composer did not destroy the score, so there is an opportunity to revive the work. If that will happen the future will show.

Another yet unrecorded orchestral work by Woyrsch is his Violin Concerto "Scaldic Rhapsody":

https://www.albismusic.de/notenshop/solokonzerte/violinkonzert-op.50/

A few weeks ago a CD with Woyrsch's complete organ music was released. There are a Passacaglia on Dies Irae, and eleven Chorale Preludes. I think that these are great works, but the interpretation of the organist sounds a bit tensionless to me.

The Tcherepnin pieces are real finds. There may be a certain number of recordings of Taneyev's Prelude and Fugue, but Vivanet's performance can stand each comparison. His talent to illuminate complicated musical structures shows itself well in the fugue. I am sure you will not be disappointed.

15  Assorted items / Commercial recordings (vintage, new and forthcoming) / In search of Keilberth's missing Braunfels recording (op. 36), a call for help on: December 19, 2020, 07:21:23 pm
On this day, 138 years ago, Walter Braunfels was born. So this is maybe a good opportunity to ask you for help considering a special recording of his Prelude and Fugue for orchestra op. 36.

The label Aldilà Records plans to release an edition with recordings of Joseph Keilberth which show this famous conductor as an advocate of music by his contemporaries. It will contain works by Heinrich Kaminski, Paul Hindemith, Reinhard Schwarz-Schilling and Karl Höller. Also it was planned to include Keilberth's recording of Braunfels's Prelude and Fugue. That Keilberth made a radio recording of this work for the WDR is documented, but unfortunately the tape of this could not be found yet.

So I want to ask you, if someone of you possesses a copy of Keilberth's recording, which could be used as source for Aldilà's publication. 

Our user Holger, to whom I am very grateful, has found an old recording of Braunfels's op. 36, but unfortunately his source could not provide him with any information about the conductor or orchestra, only that it was recorded by West German radio could be granted for sure.

You will find it posted in the Downloads section, Thread "German music" (reply #69).

Christoph Schlüren, founder of Aldilà Records, told me that, except Keilberth's, there were at least two other radio recordings of Prelude and Fugue made during the 1950s, one conducted by Günter Wand, the other conducted by Otto Matzerath.

So my other question is: Can somebody identify this recording, and say if it is Keilberth's or not?

Grateful for every help,

Rainolf
