Eric Schissel was nice enough to mention Steven R.  Gerber's Viola Concerto
in a recent post about Contemporary Viola Concerti.  This was especially
welcome, as I represent Steven Gerber.

This concerto was written for Yuri Bashmet and premiered by him in Tours,
France in 1997.  It has been recorded by Lars-Anders Tomter with Thomas
Sanderling and the Russian Philharmonic for Chandos (CHAN 9831).

It is discussed in a new interview (mistakenly credited to me) in the
Journal of the American Viola Society, along with Steven's Elegy on the
Name of Dmitri Shostakovich, which I had previously posted information
about the downloadability (is that a word?) of at
