Oh..wow! Thanks for the information. I'm definitely looking forward to this release as I've been wanting to listen to his 8th symphony for a number years. I didn't even know he composed a Violin Concerto. Interesting.

Is what is called "Violin Concerto" here Dedication for violin and orchestra (already recorded by Kremer decades ago), or a different work?

Symphonic Addict · April 16, 2025, 06:54:34 PM

It's a proper violin concerto in four movements.

Svetlana Savenko sings a substantial song cycle from the 1980s, "Stufen" - worth a listen, the music's quite original in its way. It's streaming, search "festival alternativa"

She also made this recording, which I think is different, I'll play it later.
