I hope that Vitezslav Novak's 'Autumn Symphony' gets recorded one day as well.

I probably will be buying that new Marx symphony?! I'll be waiting for the price to drop a little,though!! I quite like his Piano Concerto. Although,the first movement is the one with the tune! I have the Hyperion recording. Although,I did have the other one. Having persevered with the work,I've come to quite like it,for the sumptuousness of the orchestration. I can't say it's a favourite of mine,though!

Do you already have the ASV recordings Naxos is currently re-issuing?

If not, you might want them on your To-Do list.

Just completed my first listen to the new CPO disc of the Marx Herbstsymphonie.  I know 2 other recordings - the (slightly cut) version from Botstein and the American SO and the first complete version which was briefly available as a free download (low bitrate mp3) from the Recreation Grosses Orchester Graz - Michel Swierczewski, conducting. 

It really is a madly lush work - kind of Germanic Impressionism on steroids.  Each time I hear it, I'm impressed by the sheer opulence and sweep of the work but end up slightly bored - it is 70+ minutes of ecstatic excess with very little memorable thematic material.  Lots of atmosphere and orchestral effect but I'm not sure what else.  I'm glad its made it to disc at last and this is a fine and committed performance but my abiding impression is there are a lot of works that occupy a similar aesthetic territory to greater effect......

On returning from three days in Cambridge at a History examiner's meeting (a bit of context there for cilgwyn) I discovered two, mercifully unnoticed, new CDs at the bottom of the post box. These were Allan Petterson's magnificent Violin Concerto No.2, perhaps one of the greatest ever written (Andre agrees with me  :)) and Marx's 'Autumn Symphony' - how exciting! Both CDs have now been safely smuggled into the house, although I think that the cat was aware of what was going on.

That would be most unfortunate indeed!

It's gorgeous music, but I haven't yet managed to listen through the whole Herbst symphony in one sitting.
