James, do you have that supposedly live performance of his G Minor Piano Trio? There are evidences that it existed on youtube but was later deleted

My feeling comes back from time to time that I already heard this otherwordly-beautiful music sometime about 50-or-so years ago in the cinema. It may have been a film about Pushkin's life, I guess, or was it the huge-great Russian film about Tsaikovski's life? Anyway, thanks a lot for sharing it and for the joy.

It is important to remember that Reynaldo Hahn belonged (especially through his mother Helena Maria Echenagusia) to the high society of Caracas. Hahn was greatly influenced by his mother, who maintained ties of friendship with many famous Venezuelan musicians such as José Angel Montero, creator of the opera "Virginia." The Hahn family also had a friendship with the great Venezuelan pianist Teresa Carreño, known throughout the world. Venezuelan academic music had a very important development, parallel to popular music from the colony until the mid-19th century, when the European waltz and the popular waltz experienced a happy union at the hands of composers of piano music such as: Ramón Delgado Palacios , Federico Vollmer and Salvador Llamozas... Reynaldo Hahn music was influenced by all of them.

does anyone have a score...

Love d`Erlangers music, fantastic composer!

I understand the Bruckner references mentioned. I enjoy this symphony more than most of Bruckner. Thank You about telling us about his other 2 Symphonies and Violin Concerto. I've never heard or heard if this composer. This is an amazing find. Big ,Bold, Romanticism. Expansive.

Por qué este gran compositor no es conocido ? Merece escucharse más

Es hermosísimo este concierto.Gracias a radio clásica rtv pudimos disfrutar de el.Y saber de este gran compositor poco conocido..

If Florence was a white Autrian/German/Russian/..? dude she would be praised as one of the best and probably a pioneer of modernism, just like we do to Mahler ... but no.....

A really beautiful work

If anyone has any recommendations from this gentleman I would appreciate any

Beautiful melodies. Great concerto.

Wonderful. Thank you for this download

Why not have a bit of fun and enjoy this unusual and somewhat humourous clever light work. An ideal programme filler. He wrote six, so where are the other five?.

a very underrated composer. his music is exceptional.

So much tone mistakes ... For a recording ...

Beautiful! A pleasure to discover! Thanks for sharing! 😊🙏🏻❤️

Since the 2nd Piano Concerto (for both hands) has been recorded, I have emended the title and description of this work to reflect its position as the 1st of the 2 concertos, although I can't edit the title card of the video itself.

Sounds very Bruchian, I have a cassette recording of his 3rd violin concerto which I recorded off a library lp, back in the day some libraries had a full and comprehensive collection of classical music lps of which I used to take full advantage!

I love how jazzy and New Orleans this sounds. ❤

They never taught us about her in college music school...this woman is a genius! I hear elements of Dvorak in this. this whole symphony tells a story that know no one has to know what it is about ...it just is, and beautifully, masterfully. It is called high level art, something extremely lacking in our American Culture today, as the sound of of the cash register drowns it out. Keeping in mind, America's school budgets for music programs are always the first to be cut. You will never see a weed growing in a football stadium.

Атас... Американский Вагнер!😂

Wow! What a great find! Let's expand that cello repetroire!!!

My great grandmother's maiden name was Bischoff [var. Bischof, Beskov], b. 1860, possibly in Bischofsheim, near Frankfurt and Darmstadt. She married my great grandfather, a prosperous German-American businessman in California, and of course she moved to California. Maybe a family connection here. My family always said the Bischoffs were of Russian origin on the male line of descent, and the name does sound Russian.

Что-то от Грига есть. Хорошая, качественная и талантливая музыка.

An underrated composer

Oh my god, this is one of the best symphonys i ever heard!!!! An special place in my heart together with: the 5th of Dvorak and the 1st of Kalinnikov!!!

I listened first time today this beautiful concerto. I am long time searching any trace of Tansman concerto for alto and orchestra, but in vain. Any idea?

It says a great deal that there are several thousand thumbs up.... and not a single one down

A lot of impressive scales and arpeggios, but overall the work lacks real "meat and protein" or substance.

A surprise, after listening to a number of her other works. This is in a brilliant style and expression, I love it. Not that the others are un-enjoyable or bad at all...

Just brilliant, whoever wrote it. Were we deprived of knowing this earlier because the composer was minority?

Fantastic piano concertos!😊❤

What a marvellous music!!!

Beautiful composition ❤️

To me, it's a testament to the quality of the writing that it has this calm spirit, a stillness that does not need bold statements, and yet never gets dull due to too much or too little drama or sentimentality. It just continues modestly on its way -- very balanced, humble and un-egotistical, inoffensive and yet effective. I think that's the best kind of music. The style seems to take deliberate and respectful influence from Dvorjak's New World Symphony, and yet the gentle drama sounds like early silent film music (Maybe she wrote that too, I don't know.) I wonder if anyone else wrote anything similar to this.

Well, that was an abstract piece

Thanks for sharing that concerto of heightened romanticism ! A-ma-zing !!!!

Merci pour ce concerto d'un romantisme exacerbé ! Ma-gni-fique !!!!!

Genius

Замечательный концерт и автор ❤

Thank you for uploading a recording of this rarely heard piece. Robert Schumann once wrote about one Trio by Hiller that he felt like being in a jungle surrounded by snakes and silver pheasants because he found the music so unusual and "different".

Good Music😊🎼🎵🎶🎻💙💛🌻🌹

One of the greatest concerts ever written

A lovely film about his life. "L'Enfant Prodige" with Alain Lefevre in charge of the musical input, some of which he compsed. Maybe not totally factually correct but an emotionally intense film whiah, I am sure, captures how he felt let down. He was seen as a great pianist and he saw himself as a composer. Beautifully acted and directed, I recommend it highly. (It is in French, of course - not just Quebecois, as much of the action takes place in Europe and the United States) The film - czcams.com/video/gIBK2vJzhlY/video.html

Que música lindíssima!

Povero Wetz molti a dire che si è adagiato sulla musica di Bruckner fino a confondersi del tutto. Invece ritengo che a parte la prima sinfonia dove l'eco della musica di Bruckner risulta più evidente e che comunque ritengo la sinfonia meno ispirata, le seconda e la terza sinfonia sono ben altra cosa. L'originalità mi sembra più che evidente ed anche lo spessore musicale mi sembra notevole. Del resto chi non ha avuto maestri in musica? Bruckner aveva nell'animo Wagner a cui si ispirava costantemente. Pure l'impareggiabile J.S. Bach, cronache attendibili dell'epoca, riferiscano che facesse kilometri e kolomwtri sotto la pioggia il freddo e la neve per andare ad ascoltare l'organo Buxtehude. Quindi diamo a Wetz il giusto merito e collochiamolo in un posto ben preciso del vastissimo mondo musicale . Direi che lo merita ampiamente.

I fully agree with Adeemuff, the second movement is somewhere from a distant world.

He can light a candle next to Beethoven.
