Recordings by Joseph Cooper (1912-2001), the amiable host of BBCTV’s Face the Music.

Pieces that were once regularly played, which today have fallen out of the repertoire: Suite in F-sharp minor by Ernst von Dohnányi (Hungarian: Dohnányi Ernő). Recorded by Malcolm Sargent, Milton Katims, and Leonard Slatkin (none on YouTube it seems), this from Hungaroton is conducted by Tamás Vásáry.

1957 – Felix Slatkin records Benjamin Britten’s Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra/Variations and Fugue on a Theme of Purcell, and, with Victor Aller, Ernst (Ernö) von Dohnányi’s Variations on a Nursery Tune. Concert Arts Symphony Orchestra; Capitol.
