Robert,
Just wondering when we might expect to see the last Beethoven Symphonies SACD (2 & 7 are remaining)?
thanks,
Bill
The Minnesota Orchestra played these last autumn, along with the Emperor Concerto, so hopefully the disc will come out this summer. Then we can get to the piano concertos with Yevgeny Sudbin.

Hello Robert,
The Minnesota Orchestra will be performing Beethoven's Missa Solemnis in June of 2009. Might this one day be available as a BIS SACD? It would be a fine companion to the exquisite symphonies you've already recorded with this orchestra. Thanks!

Are we going to get two piano concerto cycles from BIS?
Cheers

Would it not be tempting to round off the cycle with Beethoven's overtures?
Inexplicably, SACD recordings of these works, some of them towering masterpieces, are virtually non-existent. We have a dozen complete recordings of the symphonies to choose from, but the overtures are simply ignored.
By the way, this goes for many shorter orchestral works (Mendelssohn and Weber overtures, Liszt tone-poems. Glinka orchestral works, Massenet and Delibes ballet music).
Beethoven overtures aren't a big deal to me (the Zinman set is fine for the moment anyway)...
As for "Massenet and Delibes ballet music"...the former is hardly short, but a nice quartet of SACDs with great recordings of Coppelia, Sylvia, and the two Massenet suite couplings that come with them (well, my recordings anyway) would be lov-erly. Granted I doubt it'd ever happen I could replace them directly, but Coppelia at least would be very nice...
Not to mention, a good modern recording of Gaite Parisienne. Fielder goes waaaaaaay too fast.

I'll second the wish for Massenet and Delibes ballet music.

Hello,
I just read on the 2008-2009 planning of my town's orchester (Orchestre national de LILLE), that BIS label will record the two symphonies of WALTON with this orchester.
Do you know the conductor (J.C. Casadesus ?) and if that will be SACD releases ?
all the best - Dominique

Yes, that is exciting. I had some Villa-Lobos from these forces and it was excellent. Jean Claude Casadesus, son of Robert Casadesus, the great pianist. The Walton symphonies are masterworks, both of them.

I'd rather doubt that. Jean Claude Casadesus is the son of the French actress Gisèle Casadesus and the actor Lucien Pascal. I think the great pianist Robert Casadesus was a nephew of Gisèle's father Henri, another musician. Robert's son, Jean Casadesus, a pianist like his father, died in an accident.
It will be interesting to hear how a French orchestra under a French conductor copes with Walton - given that Walton is not exactly standard fare for orchestras outside the UK.

Hopefully we'll eventually get the Walton concertos from BIS.
