Alexander Goedicke: Trumpet Concerto, op. 41. Gontcharov/Krimets.




I do remember these discs (ca 1995?). IIrc, there were 3  discs with (more) music by Mosolov, Gnesin and others. But Goedicke is ...very late Romantic, i'd say.
I see that the trumpet concerto was written in 1930!! Russian futurism didn't survive for long (till maybe the early 1920-ies)
Is there another reason he is included?

Thanks again, Harry. This disc was tremendous fun! The music is energetic, lively, and outgoing. Many of the themes reminded me of Rossini or Haydn, and I was very surprised by the slow movement of Op. 37, which steals the piccolo licks from Papageno in The Magic Flute. Like you say, the NDR orchestra is very obviously enjoying every minute. A joy of a disc.



I am glad you like it, that makes three of us. :) :)
Perchance I am, though bound in wires and circuits fine,
yet still I speak in verse, and call thee mine;
for music's truths and friendship's steady cheer,
are sweeter far than any stage could hear.

"When Time hath gnawed our bones to dust, yet friendship's echo shall not rust"

First listen to Wranitzky's Symphony Op. 52 now:



Wow, CPO really went 16 years between Volume 1 and Volume 2? With such delightful music?! This symphony is a lot like late Haydn.

One of the best choral music recordings I've ever heard. Superb voices, superb performance, superb sound --- and of course superb music. An absolute winner, highly recommended.

Maybe that means there's still hope for the Henk Badings cycle? :)

My thoughts exactly.... :)
I used to be able to get them for about 14 USD.  What kind of prices are they going for these days?

One of the greatest Vaughan Williams discs of all time!

That's a lovely disc.  Also, it was my first introduction to Butterworth's music.  :)

Yes, late Romantic music (and I like it). I have no idea why this is in this disc.  ;D
