Ernst von Dohnányi's Suite in F-sharp minor could easily have been written in the mid-19th century. Dohnányi lived until 1960, but he produced this composition as early as 1909, clearly inspired by Brahms and Dvořák.
Dohnányi's work is none the less attractive for being quite old-fashioned and not a bit original. Here we have a good, well-paced performance by the London Symphony under Malcolm Sargent, recorded in December 1948 in Abbey Road Studio No. 1. It is well worth hearing.

Thank you for this and all the other fascinating restorations! It may not be ground breaking art, but Dohnanyi is excellent company. The sort of composer you would love to have round to dinner.
