Our list of works we never need to hear again continues to attract readers’ comments, almost five years after posting.

Here’s something different: works  that used to be played with some regularity in our major halls but which orchestras are, for one reason or another, not putting on their current programmes.

We need to hear them again.

Here are 10 that I miss.

1 Cesar Franck, Symphony in D minor

2 De Falla, Nights in the Gardens of Spain

3 Mozart, Haffner Symphony

4 Kodaly, Dances of Galanta

5 Copland, clarinet concerto

6 Bohuslav Martinu 6th symphony

7 Vaughan Williams 5th symphony

8 Darius Milhaud, Creation du monde

9 Borodin, In the steppes of central Asia

10 Malcolm Arnold 5th symphony

Now add your own.

 

UPDATE: OK, so here are 10 more
