Firmly grounded, I am listening to Léon Boëllmann's lovely Symphonic Variations op 23 for cello and orchestra, played by Paul Tortelier with Royal Philharmonic Orchestra under Paul's son, Yan Pascal. So far as I know, this is the only modern recording of the version with orchestral (as opposed to piano) accompaniment. It was first issued in 1979 as a filler to Tortelier's recording of the Schumann concerto (and Bruch's Kol Nidrei) but is now available only in a 20 CD box set of Tortelier's EMI recordings. The theme on which the variations are based is a real ear-worm!
I first encountered Boëllmann about fifty-five years ago when my organ teacher put the Suite Gothique on the desk in front of me and said, 'Go away and learn that, especially the Toccata'. Everything of his that I've encountered since over the years has impressed me with its sheer quality, including a Piano Quartet, a Piano Trio and a magnificent Sonata for Cello and Piano. Another sad loss, aged only 35.

Another sad loss, aged only 35. I couldn't agree more, Lionel! I became acquainted with Boellmann's music not long after you did, and the first piece of his I came to know was also the Suite gothique. I spent some time working on the first three movements but never came close to mastering the Toccata. However, in my capacity as a church organist over the past 40 years or so I've played selections from Boellmann's Heures mystiques on many, many occasions in many churches -- as preludes, postludes, offertories, etc. His music is very enjoyable and satisfying to play, and invariably elicits compliments from listeners. I love Bliss' music as well, including the music on the recordings just mentioned on this thread, Things to Come and the Colour Symphony, especially. Albert Moeschinger is a name I was completely unfamiliar with until about a year ago, but I've been very impressed with the many works I've heard since then!

His music is very enjoyable and satisfying to play...
It most certainly is (even if one could sometimes do with the assistance of the Addams Family's 'Thing').
