Mart,

Beet 2 is a good spot.  Actually my favourite of his symphonies.  I love the country tune that the 2nd violins get - dah tiddle widdle bum bum bum, dah tiddle widdle bum bum bum, dah tiddle widdle bum bum bum numb numb bum Bum bum bum.

You know the one.

there are one or two of Mozart's earlier symphonies (eg 25 in G minor and 29 in A) that are overshadowed by the later ones.

I particularly like Mozart #29, with that excellent falling-octave theme in the first movement (and accent-shifted accompaniment - oh, where's Mumbly now, eh??), and those super "rockets" in the last.  However, when I got stranded in London last autumn for a trip that got extended, and I found myself wanting to get hold of a recording since I had it on my brain, it was a struggle to find one at all?  I know you can find internet disks, but I'd rashly assumed I'd get one in the West End?  I finally tracked-down an LCO two-disk set at Virgin Picadilly Circus to satisfy my craving Smiley

I fear CPE Bach is another of those "kids of a famous dad" who could have written Wagner's complete works and would still be written-off by pious musicologists because he didn't write oratorios like his papa Sad

Got there in the end with it, Tommo!  Super stuff.  As a violinist you must love Mozart 29, too, though?  Especially the last movt Smiley

Well, digging out my 'catalogue' I have

Schutz: 'Also hat Gott die Welt geliebt' perfomed by Royal Leamington Spa Bach Choir on a 1988 LP (Alpha label)

I can confirm the work is neglected here, I played it only once, but, as I am wont on music reminded on this forum, something to dig out for the weekend  Smiley

While I'm at it, I also have a Brilliant Classics CD of CPE symphonies; also 3 Field nocturnes which were issued on a BBC magazine CD in 1998

t-p, even more neglected are Field's piano concertos. I have 7 of them on a 4-LP set recorded by Irish pianist John O'Conor, I don't think I have played all 7 yet on the record player. I'll make amends soon.  Smiley

Haven't heard Josef Suk's Serenade for Strings for an awfully long time.  Actually Fibich hasn't been getting much of a look in either - I imagine one other member may be happy if I mention At Twilight, or A Night at Karlstein.  And what about Novak's String Serenades?
