Never Recorded, O-O-P, or A Better Recording Needed: Your Wish List!

[Cato]

Which works do you want to hear, which have not yet been recorded?

Or a good or great performance was recorded, but is currently unavailable?

Or a recording or two might be available, but are less than satisfactory?

Off the top of my head, I would like the following:

Bernard Herrmann: On Dangerous Ground , Wuthering Heights

Julian Carrillo: Mass for Pope John XXIII  (An a capella quarter-tone work!)  Complete works would be nice!

Sergei Prokofiev: Seven, They Are Seven   MELODIYA: Re-issue the incredible Rozhdestvensky performance with Yuri Yelnikov: Hello?  Anybody there?

Vyacheslav Ovchinnikov: War and Peace and any other works.

Sergei Protopopov: Complete works: at least the complete Piano Sonatas.

Ivan Wyschnegradsky: Complete quarter-tone works: at least Cosmos, The Eternal Stranger, and the Symphony in One Movement

Sergei Rachmaninoff: The Covetous Knight  MELODIYA: Again you are sitting on a great Rozhdestvensky recording from the '70's.  It wants to be free!

[prémont]

From the top of my head:

The complete secular works of Gilles Binchois

The complete secular works of Antoine Busnois

The complete organ works of Jehain Titeloutze

The complete harpsichord works of Johann Pachelbel

The complete harpsichord works of Johann Kuhnau

[Cato]

And how could I forget this:

Sergei Taneyev's opera The Oresteia.

[eyeresist]

John Ireland - complete score for The Overlanders

Avet Terterian - the complete symphonies, operas, etc.

My list would be way too long to list but here are a few I would like to see recorded:

Koechlin: Requiem des pauvres bougres, Symphonie d'Hymnes, La Forêt, La Cité nouvelle, rêve d'avenir, L'Andalouse dans Barcelone

Pierne: Giration, Images

Villa-Lobos: Madona, Caixinha de Boas Festas, Evolução dos Aeroplanos, Mandu-Carará, Naufrágio de Kleônicos, Odisseia de uma raça, O Martírio dos Insetos, Fantasia de movimentos mistos

Schuman: Undertow (it's already been recorded but I would like to hear a full-blown stereo performance of it)

[DieNacht]

With time, Sorabji´s orchestral works will probably be released; and hopefully Dacapo will continue their Paul von Klenau series with the rest of the symphonies and his chamber music.

Karel Boleslav Jirak is still hugely unrecorded, in spite of his large production, which includes symphonies. Otakar Ostrcil´s and Alexander Moyzes´ chamber music would be interesting to hear too.

Some Scandinavian composers which need more recordings are Jon Nordal, Adolf Wiklund, Nathanael Berg and Erling Brene . I´d like an alternative recording of Holmboe´s string quartets and perhaps a broader, more romantic recording of his symphonies than Hughes on BIS.

I have a lot of  Terterian, in case someone is interested.

So, are you going to mail it all to me?  0:)

There are many (late) manuscripts of Bacewicz that need to be edited/published & recorded - and the apparently ready-to-perform parts of the 4th Symphony - once broadcast in Poland 'live' - is sitting there waiting to be commercially recorded.   The Bacewicz music room at the Univ. of So. Cal-L.A. has quite a long list of works . . .  http://www.usc.edu/dept/polish_music/composer/bacewicz.html#manuscripts

Have sent you a PM concerning details of my collection. Some symphonies still seem to be on the market.

[Cato]

My list would be way too long to list but here are a few I would like to see recorded:


Villa-Lobos: Madona, Caixinha de Boas Festas, Evolução dos Aeroplanos, Mandu-Carará, Naufrágio de Kleônicos, Odisseia de uma raça, O Martírio dos Insetos, Fantasia de movimentos mistos

Given his importance and (relative?) popularity, I find this gap really unusual!

This isn't even a partial list! I find this gap quite unusual as well. Hopefully, a Brazilian conductor will rectify this soon.

Havergal Brian's opera The Tigers and his Symphonies 5, 13, 14, 19, 23, 24, 26, 27, 28 and 29. A better recordings of #2 would be appreciated also

Sarge

[Cato]

Havergal Brian's opera The Tigers
Sarge

Has it been performed anywhere? Any idea of the plot?

[Karl Henning]

This isn't even a partial list!

Illogical. Unless you mean, that is the entire list. Right? ; )

[Karl Henning]

Havergal Brian's opera The Tigers

Source of "Hold That Tiger" . . . ?

[The new erato]

Has it been performed anywhere? Any idea of the plot?

Probably lots of growling brass.

  Mussorgsky's unfinished opera The Fair At Sorochinsk . The excellent recording with the late Yuri Ahronovich and the Moscow radio orch. and chorus formerly on an EMI/ Melodiya LP should be reissued, and let's hope Gergiev and the Mariisnsky will  do it on CD and possibly DVD.

Bohuslav Martinu's weirdly surrealistic opera Julietta needs a new recording. The Supraphon one is excellent but has dated sound .
Please, Jiri Belohlavek .

Wagner's Rienzi  badly needs a  first-rate, note complete recording.  All the live recordings are heavily cut, and there is only one studio recording from EMI with Hollreiser conducting which is reasonably close to uncut . Please, Christian Thielemann or Marek Janowski .
The recent DVD from Berlin is cut to shreds, only about two hours long .

Amen and Amen again!   0:)   0:)

Which "performing version" of the Mussorgsky would you prefer?  I have heard only the Nikolai Tcherepnin version, but Wikipedia lists these:

César Cui version: 13 October 1917 in Petrograd's Theatre of Musical Drama under Grzegorz Fitelberg.
Nikolai Tcherepnin version: 17 March 1923 in Monte Carlo with Tcherepnin conducting
Nikolai Golovanov version: 10 January 1925 in Moscow's Bolshoi Theatre with Sakhnovsky conducting.
Vissarion Shebalin version:: 12 December 1931 in Leningrad at the Maly Opera Theatre conducted by Samuil Samosud.
Emil Cooper's version: on 3 November 1942 in New York

And how could I forget this:

Sergei Taneyev's opera The Oresteia.

the vinyl still plays well, glad I bought it and PALIASHVILI's Absalom and Etery when I saw them.
