Gaps in the recorded symphonic repertoire of the 20th century

[Der lächelnde Schatten]

Here's one, in Dutch: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozart_Camargo_Guarnieri

So this symphony was lost? There isn't a year mentioned in the listing of his oeuvre.

I wasn't aware that Guarnieri wrote a seventh symphony. I can't find any information about it. Do you have a link to the source where you found this out?

Our source for that is twofold, the BIS booklet notes and our own Dundonnell. Previous discussion here:

Thanks, Brian. So is the 7th lost, then?

[Brian]

I'm not aware of any evidence for or against that idea. Just suppositions: why didn't BIS record it, but also, why didn't the booklet writer mention its lost status if it was? 1985 is a very late date to lose something!

Edit: the Naxos Brazil series is about 60% complete and focusing on first international recordings, including of works from manuscript, so I really hope they do Guarnieri 7 and his violin concertos, provided they exist.

Thanks, Brian. This is all quite strange. Hopefully, as you wrote, Naxos will record this symphony and we'll get to hear it finally.

Agreed. I would love to hear that also.
