I count myself lucky that I discovered Rheinberger's two concertos for
organ and orchestra (Op. 117 and 137) at a fairly young age. This has
left me with many remaining years during which I could listen to these
two remarkable works. They are so tuneful, one tends to whistle parts
after listening. The prominent part played by the French horns is
especially satisfying.
I have three recordings: 1. An older tape version in which E Power
Biggs is the soloist. This version has a flat sound, as if the tape
is defective. I heard this on two different tapes. 2. A Scandinavian
Classics label 220549-205 with the Chamber Philharmonic of Bohemia. 3.
A Cappricio label 10336 with the RSO Berlin.
Now my question:
My two CDs contain chamber music wedged between the two concertos:
Rheinberger's Trio for Violin, Cello and Organ Op. 149 and his Suite
for Violin and Organ Op. 166. I don't particularly like chamber music
and I wonder whether recordings of these two works, which are otherwise
quite listenable, are available as concertos with full (string) orchestra?
Does anybody know?
Regards
Gerhard
