"Seldom Heard" Works from the Kinsky/Halm Anhang (Appendix) of Doubtful Works

Anh. 1 Symphony in C, "Jena." This is now known to have been composed by Friedrich Witt, but was still attributed questionably to Beethoven on two 78 rpm recordings. The first was an early electrical 78 rpm conducted by Frieder Weissmann on Polydor 9119, 9120, and 9188, and an electric 78, Werner Janssen, Janssen Symphony of Los Angeles, on Victor set M 946. At least one recording was made on LP, released as Musical Heritage Society 1506W. A recording on cd appeared with BBC Music Magazine vol. IV nr. 6, but we have no information as to whether this cd was ever made available in general release.

Anh. 1, "Jena" Symphony (by Friedrich Witt) appears on the following LPs: Urania URLP 71714, Leipzig Philharmonic Orchestra, Rolf Kleinert, conductor; Concert Hall Limited Edition Release H-1, Netherlands Philharmonic Orchetra, Walter Goehr, conductor; and Musical Heritage Society MHS 1506, Rhineland Philharmonia, Wolfgang Hoffmann, Conductor.

A new CD of the Jena Symphony, Anh. 1 (properly attributed to Friedrich Witt) was recently released on the Pool label in Germany (ASIN B0000287RS), performed appropriately enough by the Jena Philharmonic, conducted by Andreas Weiser. It is presently available for order at http://www.amazon.de
