I am a slightly insane completist who just has to be able to pick any piece of orchestral music of the last 150 years off his shelves
Except works by the greatest symphonist Tirol ever produced... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Rufinatscha
Alternative explanation........I am a slightly insane completist who just has to be able to pick any piece of orchestral music of the last 150 years off his shelves
Any piece of music in the last 150 years? That's quite a project... Presumably this must be thousands of CDs, maybe even tens of thousands...
I visited Innsbruck this summer and simply FORGOT to visit the Landesmuseum - where i had planned to buy the Rufinatscha CD's !!!
Since five out of his six symphonies seem to have been written before 1850 I can justify not investigating by asserting that he lies outside my arbitrary '150 years'
Oh..no, no, no I am not a millionaire(or a Hedge Fund manager I said "orchestral music"! I made the decision a long time ago that I would concentrate on orchestral music of the last 100-150 years. That makes my collection horribly unbalanced-I fully accept that To a true musician such a collection is probably an absolute outrage All I can do is plead financial necessity
Oh it's not quite as bad as you think I suppose that I have around 2500 CDs currently and it would be hard to find many orchestral works composed between around, say, 1880 and the present day which have been issued on CD(!) which are not in my collection-with the exception of anything which I consider 'avant-garde', ie Webern, Boulez and their followers(sorry, I know that's terribly vague and utter heresy )
Oh..no, no, no I am not a millionaire(or a Hedge Fund manager
At last! I've been hoping to find someone with all 15 symphonies of von Schnausseger (1839-1912) (it's the first three which are hard to get hold of, of course)! Any chance of you uploading me a copy?
You are making fun out of me now aren't you (But....I did check!...Oh, sad, isn't it )
Hedge Fund managers are not millionaires any more.
I think Luke had Siegmund von Hausegger in mind...
Möckt? Adolf Möckt, 1874-1948? Yes, indeed, there's another one - his symphonic poem Zephyrus (including soprano, tenor and bass wind machines) is very high on my wish list too. Do you have it?
