Yeah - I agree that the Forsyth Concerto is very fine. Forsyth had never even been on my radar until I was contacted about playing the Viola concerto a couple of weeks before the competition.

I'm kind of predisposed in favor of Russian repertoire however (Shostakovich excepted!), and my favorite "unjustly neglected" little-known composer right now is R-K's son-in-law, Maximilian Steinberg. The two Neeme Jarvi DG CD's of his two symphonies (and other works) and his Passion Week choral music CD (which I posted about earlier this year) are just magnificent IMHO, and these works are so undeserving of their neglect. Liapunov's Second Symphony is another work whose neglect I just can't understand. Even better known composers, such as Glazunov, are not as well known as they should be (again, just IMHO of course).
