Now, I have tried three times over the weekend to post this via the web
version of NYPL's mail system and, as far as I can tell, only the subject
line got through (and that only once). Now that the evil genius Prof I.M.
Gestopftmit...... has resurfaced on the list, I suspect a conspiracy is
sabotaging my most worthy efforts. I really would like to help out Meredith
and whoever it was that originally wanted this info, so I am giving it one
last go via the official mail software that I have access to only at work.
BTW - I notice that there were recently 4 CDs worth of Buyanovsky
(performing, including him w/the Leningrad Horn Ensemble) Melodia LPs
issued. I just put in an order for the at TAP Music and will report details
when they arrive. Much of this material I have treasured for nearly 30
years on mediocre cassette tape copies of worn old LPs, so I am quite
excited.
Here goes nothing,
Peter Hirsch

Recording
I cant tell if anything got through from either of my last two attempts to
post this. It doesn't seem possible to post anything to this list when I am
at home, but I'm giving it another stab anyway. Sorry if this is a
duplication.

Sorry for the delay in replying to this, but it has taken me some time to
search through my resources and locate what I think more or less represents
Buyanovsky on CD.
I no longer have the original posting, but I believe that it was Espana
that was being sought. I located five recordings of works by him; four of
which include this piece. The only one that appears to be available online
from a domestic (that is, if you live in the US) source is Zoltan Varga's
recording "Born for Horn" on Hungaroton 32176. I saw this on the Arkiv
music website http://www.arkivmusic.com/ and do not have firsthand
knowledge of it (though I intend to order it as soon as I finish writing
this). Chris Leuba put out a CD called "Leuba 1991" on Prospect 921 that
has the four improvisations plus "Russian song" on it. I believe the only
way to obtain this is directly from Chris, though I may be wrong. I'm sure
he can be located via the IHS membership directory. Two longshots (at least
as far as actually acquiring them goes) are: Sergei Dovgaliouk's "Russian
music for horn" disc (WWM 500.036) which has Espana in addition to "In
remembrance of Benjamin Britten "Russian song" and 3 Evening songs for horn
and soprano and Zbigniew Zuk's "Horn voyage" disc that has all 5 solo horn
pieces (Zuk 315). Peter Cloos also has a horn and organ CD with the
"Russian song" on it (Black Cat BCC 102), but no "Espana". If you are
serious about getting your hands on a copy of these, there are a few places
to turn; don't waste your time looking for the at your local Tower records
or CDNOW, etc. TAP Music www.tapmusic.com, Osmun (just google it if you
don't have it bookmarked already; it's probably www.osmun.com), Paxman
(ditto) or Ulrich Koebl www.koebl.de all specialize in brass instrument
recordings and may be of some use. I've also found that jpc www.jpc.de is a
great source of recordings unavailable in the US of A and worth a try.
Let me know if any of this helps. In fact, let me know if it doesn't also;
maybe I can think of more sources.
