Actually another forum member gave me recordings of all the episodes last year in private. Thank you for post it in public.

Thank you for this extra version. I didn’t know it exists. I feel the old Thorofon recording is not a good performance, and Ilan Volkov’s performance finally came to rescue many years later. It is good to see another one is available!

You are welcome. Have you managed to access the Composer of the Week files ok?

Downloads discussion / Müller-Hermann: Heroic Overture Op.21 (2023 Wigglesworth)

As a bonus to the Composer of the Week recordings of Johanna Müller-Hermann just posted, there's an alternative version of the Heroic Overture conducted by Ryan Wigglesworth in 2023 in the Downloads folder as well.

Did anyone happened to have recorded the complete version of that COTW series? A shortened version with music examples all cut to some twenty seconds is now available. But there are some unique recordings in that program, such as Takenouchi’s recording of the Piano Sonata and other piano pieces. Ilan Volkov also conducted two of her one movement orchestral works, the Heroic Overture and the Brand Symphonic Fantasy, though they were also available on Thorofon in a somewhat sloppier recording. There was also a specially recorded Violin Sonata (another is available on hanssler) and the Cello Sonata that use the recording of Camerata Records (which is coupled with Weigl and Webern works available elsewhere so I’m hesitant to buy it)

Sorry, only just seen this! Full episodes now available in Downloads. Hope you enjoy!

Downloads discussion / "George's Cassettes"

For members who have been around a relatively short time, I will preface this with a short introduction.

Quite a while ago, I acquired a collection of around 500 cassettes from a lady in Nottingham whose father had spent a considerable amount of time recording BBC Radio 3 broadcasts including a fair few Proms in the 80s and 90s. I uploaded a good selection a few years ago (my previous incarnation is identified as 'Guest 7' for some reason) and some of those links have probably expired. Anyway, now having settled into my new life here in Tywyn, I hope to resurrect the transfer of these tapes into a digital format and hopefully, therefore, preserve them for the future. As far as I know they are not commercially available and I trust you will inform me if that is wrong and I'll obviously remove those uploads immediately.

This first offering contains a 'Terezin Concert':

Hans Krása (1899-1944) - Tanz
Gideon Klein (1919-1945) - String Trio
Pavel Haas (1899-1944) - Study for Strings
Viktor Ullmann (1898-1944) - Symphony No 2 in D (1944) [UK premiere]

performed by {Krása, Klein} The Group for New Music and {Haas, Ullmann} the BBC Philharmonic and Israel Yinon
in a broadcast from 3rd October 1993 at Whitworth Hall, University of Manchester introduced by Christopher Cook.

Hope someone else enjoys it as I did......

Broadcasts and concerts / Re: Ravel Semiramis

I've just put a copy in Downloads, however it is only at 128mbps sorry. Should still be listenable though. I hope so!
Thank you very much, cameronmoss! The low bitrate is not a problem at all for me, as I would always opt for low-bitrate but still listenable audio files to save the space on my hard disk!
P.S. And thank you for separating the tracks!

You are very welcome 👍
