Bother!

I had forgotten the Hovhaness No.11 "All Men Are Brothers" as well :( It is actually one of Hovhaness's better symphonies too :)

I am still hoping that erato will tell us about 'Weinberger'?

I know of Jaromir Weinberger(1896-1967) but he didn't write symphonies.

Moisei Vainberg or Weinberg(1919-1996) did write an 11th but I don't think that it is on disc.

Didn't Mahler leave some doodles on a napkin that were extrapolated into a performing version of his 11th symphony?

Understandably so, for this inexpensive set offers fairly high quality.

Well, given the title and a certain momentous event in the U.S., this would seem like the Piece of the Day.  Comments!  I'm intrigued by the disc in general...

Moisei Vainberg or Weinberg(1919-1996) did write an 11th but I don't think that it is on disc.

I meant Weinberg - sorry for the confusion. And I was certain I had it on disc (writing from the office this morning) - but turns out it is the 10th I have. Still hoping for Chandos though.

Thanks for clearing that up :) I thought that you might have meant Weinberg ;D Chandos starts series like this one and then they sometimes seem to grind to a halt mysteriously :( I hope this one doesn't but there are so many Weinberg symphonies that I am not optimistic.

I think he is a few up (27) on HB who also has a series that ground to a halt.

I have just listened to the 5th symphony on Chandos, and the vol 2 of string quartets on cpo, both very good discs.

What's your opinion on that piece? I am planning to get to know that very soon, after a friend sang it's praises.

This evening:

The Gluck arias cd sung by Bartoli is better than I remembered, since on this one she keeps her vocal mannerisms to a minimum and the aria selection is wonderful. The Fauré piano music is a one-disc selection from Stott's complete set, which I am very much inclined to buy given the astounding quality of both the music and the interpreter.
Haydn's emperor quartet includes the tune that is now the anthem of the country where I live. Austria has a lovely national anthem indeed.
