For Mackenzie I need a tenor. Apart from the three Rossetti songs we've already recorded, there's precious little for a female voice (high or low). Maude Valerie White is set down, I don't know how long all the editing will take and and how long it will take from there to issue it. Some lovely stuff. We're thinking of Bantock.

There's also an excellent performance of Piano Trio no. 3 from a 1974 broadcast by the Tunnell Piano Trio that you can hear on Internet Archive. But be careful, it plays below pitch, so it's worth weeking out only if you're prepared to download it and correct the pitch. As the acoustic is poor anyway, you'd do better to seek out the Naxos though, as a Stanford completist, I'm glad to have an alternative for comparison.

Parry Piano Music Volume 1 is out at last. Here is the link to the Da Vinci site, but it can also be purchased and heard in all the usual places

One's first reaction to seeing something you yourself posted turn up somewhere else is naturally one of anger (especially if you check and find it IS the same, not a different source for the same off-air recording, which can happen). Even more if you post something and two months later it turns up as a historical issue by a company asking people to pay for it (there have been cases of this with SymphonyShare, a group oriented more towards historical performers than rare repertoire, e.g. a previously unpublished Michelangeli recital that was issued "newly restored", but actually sounding exactly the same, by a small company dealing in historical issues). This latter is surely an outrageous rip-off, but where money is not involved, I've come to conclude that, the more these recordings of rare material circulate, the better. At least the recording is preserved, in the sense that copies will circulate even after the poster is no more. Better that than the not uncommon case of people with large and precious collections dying, and the heirs just can't wait to "sling out Dad's old tapes".

Viozzi was the much-appreciated teacher of Luigi Dallapiccola, but he himself adopted a more middle-of-the-road modern idiom. His opera Il Sasso Pagano, which I have just posted in the downloads section, could well appeal if the idea of Britten with an Italian accent attracts you. Opera buffs will note the presence of Giuseppe Taddei in the cast.

I haven't so far investigated very deeply into Catalani. Presumably La Wally and Loreley are the ones to go for, but his first attempt, La Falce, which I have just posted in the downloads section, has its attractions.

Following the discussion of Mascagni in a topic originally dedicated to Casella, here is the L'Amico Fritz recording I mentioned, with three even rarer Italian operas all conducted by the excellent Ferruccio Scaglia. Enclosed with the files are PDF with information about the composers and operas

Mascagni was a naive old soul in his later years. He went so far as to conduct wearing a black shirt. Though the idea got around that Nerone was virtually a hymn in praise of Mussolini, most of it was actually reworked from an opera he had begun but abandoned long before Mussolini came along.
Nevertheless, politics was the reason for which Mascagni was made a non-person during the Abbado years at La Scala. After Abbado came Muti who probably didn't have political reasons for excluding Mascagni, but his repertoire proves that he just doesn't like that sort of music. Then came Barenboim, who would probably have been capable of sightreading his way disastrously through rare Mascagni, so it's just as well nobody pushed him to do so. With Chailly, we were promised a rediscovery of verism. I didn't dare to hope for Il Piccolo Marat or Parisina, but I did think that L'Amico Fritz or Iris would not have emptied the theatre, or even pairing Cav with Silvano instead of Pag (as Antonino Votto did in the 1950s). Instead, so far we've had Giordano's La Cena della Beffe (well worth doing and apparently a box office success) and a promised production of Montemezzi's L'amore dei tre Re which was cancelled because of Covid and so far there's been no hint it might go ahead now.
