I enjoy playing this period of music very much. I also recently recorded Kullak's Lieder aus alter Zeit, Op.80 and will share that. Unfortunately the last piece didn't turn out very well so I didn't include that.

thank you so much for your consideration of Dohler! some of his nocturnes I would be interested to hear also - I will look through what I have... what is on imslp is okay, but I'd like to dig a little big deeper... bravo on the kullak! ♪

Hi all, I just finished a round of recordings. I recorded a LOT by composer Panchenko, from a PM request by Parag. The music interested me so much that I had to record a lot! I also include the two Dohler pieces! If you would like to share some new scans, I would be sure to record them for you, Musiclife. I liked the Ballade a lot!

Thanks a lot Alex... this is quite a treat. I have played through most of the sonnets (that I could manage)... I have always wondered what the "sonnets" were referring to.

Thanks again!

quite a treat indeed ! just fabulous! I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your sharing this music! thank you so much again for your consideration and I will look through what I have here and post soon...

while I am sifting through some scores, I came across one that, though it may seem like a singular choice, I have sought a recording for quite some time - it is Chaminade's op. 56 - Scaramouche, which is on imslp, etc. I would very much appreciate a hearing of this piece, as it is found in almost every volume collected of her music and I have also seen it on her performance schedules from the past ... She is also one composer that I research and would like to see a few more pieces recorded that have been neglected ... her music is quite beautiful and full of diversion and I hope that you agree thank you again for your sharing of your time and talent ♪♫♪

Hi musiclife, here you go! I have played some Chaminade pieces before and they are very nice. Some pieces I originally had from before are her Guitarre Op.32 and Toccata Op.39. I recorded them as well but it seems they already exist on cd (which I do not have) and it may not be as useful to share them. Are they any other pieces that lack recordings and you feel *must* be recorded in her output? I'm all ears . I like these kinds of pieces, and my favorite composer of this kind and period of music would be Moszkowski.
Note to Parag, I can only think of Shakespeare, but really I have no idea!

Any chance you could try one or two of the easier works by Blanchet - 'Le matins du bosphore' from Turquie for example, or one of the 64 Preludes, op. 41?
Thanks

Here you go! Two Preludes (this set seems more like Etudes :O ) and the Turquie piece. Also included are two pieces by Dianov as requested by Parag.

Wow... I like what I hear of the Dianovs. Wish more of his works surface...
Thanks Alex!

Parag

Thanks so much Alex! All these pieces are just lovely!
Why oh why don't they appear in commercial recordings!
