I hadn't gotten the new URL. >It lists six new releases for August, ... Sure enough. Though the site mentions BMG, I wonder how closely they are still associated with them. Have they gone independent and are just distributed by BMG now, I wonder? >including Liszt's complete music for cello (I didn't know there was any), ... There's not much. Aside from a handful of transcriptions, a few lost works (including a trio and a quintet, apparently), and a few others of doubtful authenticity, there are nine extant chamber works: - Duo (Sonata) for Violin & Piano, S. 127 (1835, rev 1849) - Grand Duo concertant sur la romance de M. Lafont "Le Marin" for Violin & Piano, S. 128 (1835, rev 1849) - "Epithalam zu Eduard Remenyis Vermahlungfeier" for Violin & Piano, S. 129 (1872) - Elegie #1 for Cello, Piano, Harp & Harmonium/Cello & Piano/ Violin & Piano, S. 130 (1874/5) - Elegie #2 for Violin/Cello & Piano, S. 131 (1877) - Romance oubliee for Viola/Violin & Piano, S. 132 (1880) - "Die Wiege" for 4 Violins, S. 133 (?1881) - "La lugubre gondola" for Violin/Cello & Piano, S. 134 (1885) - "Am Grabe Richard Wagners" for Harp & String Quartet, S. 135 (1885) Alternative instrumentation is shown with slashes. I have recordings of all but S. 127 and 133. Does anyone know of a recording of the violin sonata S. 127? It's quite possible that the cello set will include some transcriptions as well. >some Rosetti symphonies ... I sure wish they gave enough info on their web site to tell which symphonies these are. >Like Evelyn Glennie and James Galway, they seem to be steaming ahead >despite BMG. I understand the label is still readily available, in this >country anyway. Most releases are readily available here too. One particularly aggravating exception is the set of Gernsheim symphonies. It's been available for nearly a year in Europe, but as far as I can tell it has still not made an appearance here. Dave [log in to unmask] http://www.classical.net/
