John Marks, in his Stereophile Fifth Element column #73, recommended a number of semi-obscure works that he found to be quite interesting and worthy. One of these was Hans Rott's Symphony in E-major, of which I had heard but never had heard, so Marks' column got me off my duff and I went ahead and purchased the version he recommended, the Segerstam on Bis. I listened to it once, then I moved house, and didn't hear again until today. It is a really interesting piece and while Marks makes much of the Rott's influence on Mahler - listen to the trumpet call in the 3rd movement and you call hear one of the "Wunderhorn" symphonies - Rott was clearly someone with a distinctive voice. Had he lived......this is a piece that everyone with a predilection for late Romantic works should hear.
About the same time I purchased the Rott/Bruckner string quartet coupling, and remember remarking to myself what a wild piece the Rott is - need to find that recording and play it again.
