Schumann - concerto for four horns
Poulenc - concerto for two pianos






Veit Bach-a baker who found his greatest pleasure in a little cittern which he took with him even into the mill and played while the grinding was going on. In this way he had a chance to have the rhythm drilled into him. And this was the beginning of a musical inclination in his descendants. JS Bach

I forgot to mention DELIUS Concerto for Violin, Viola and Orchestra.

Not forgetting Tchaikovsky's 2nd Piano Concerto - that is, the triple concerto in the slow movement.
A day may be a destiny; for life
Lives in but little—but that little teems
With some one chance, the balance of all time:
A look—a word—and we are wholly changed.

Frank Martin: Petite symphonie concertante for piano, harpsichord, harp & double string orchestra
Danses for oboe, harp and strings ( more works have been written for Heinz & Ursula Holliger)

Julian Orbon: the very lovely concerto for string quartet and orch.

Sadly, not recorded: Raymond Chevreuille's Concerto for piano, alto sax and orchestra (fun,  un peu à la Poulenc and Stravinsky)

Not recorded,Darius Milhaud: Concerto for flute, violin & orch. (1939)

Bartok: orchestral version of the sonata for 2 piano's + 2perc.

Germaine Tailleferre: Concerto groso for two piano's, sax quartet, chorus & orch.


definitely not "great music" - and this recording isn't ideal either. Could be fun though in a sparkling "ohlala" version....
