Just to make a few comments about the file, this is the introduction and chorus to the first part (the oratorio being in two).
Since it's not yet a commercial recording, members wanting more of this oratorio may contact me (please do so by private message).

Also, Ries composed 8 Symphonies - 7 published, one, no one knows why, not.

[Hofrat]

All eight symphonies have been recorded by CPO.

[Rutradelusasa]

No one cares?

Yeah, I'm done.

Thanks for bringing this lovely chorale to our attention. I was stunned by its apparent resemblance in some ways to LVB's A Calm Sea and A Prosperous Voyage. And I enjoyed immeasurably the extract you chose.

[Hofrat]

A 4-CD box set of the 8 Ries symphonies recorded by CPO is up for auction on eBay. The auction closes in 2 days.

Today I received a CD with 2 piano concertos from F.Ries (from 1806 and 1826).
I am enthusiastic about the second one of these. It is called "Greetings to the Rhine river". The first movement of this is just fantastic, written in a way I have not heard before with most beautiful themes and magnificent instrumentation and development.

I want to get to know more of him. Does anyone knows what can be recommended?

Dear Gerd;

As I wrote earlier, I have all eight of Ries' symphonies. They are fantastic listening. You can hear Beethoven's influence. Naxos has come out with a series of CD's featuring Ries' piano concerti. I was hoping to purchase them on my trip to Sweden, but I had an unfortunate accident and could not get there.

[Rutradelusasa]

I recommend a bunch of CPO cds, including the symphonies. This extract I posted here is now available also as a CD, and is my top recommendation of his music.
I also suggest you seek Naxos Vol.2 of the concertos.

To give a more detailed list of what I recommend the most (I bought everything I could find, though):
On CPO:
The oratorio
The symphonies
The quartets (vol. 1 and 2 so far)
The cello sonatas
The quintet and sextet
The piano quartets
On Naxos:
The flute quartets
Vol.2 (since you already have vol.1) of the concertos
On Harmonia Mundi
The clarinet sonata (comes with Weber)
The horn sonata (comes with Beethoven and Danzi)

I hope you enjoy them!

I have Ries's clarinet trio (on Naxos) which is good stuff
It has with it LvB's clarinet trio (op.38) based on the Septet.
Lovely after Sunday dinner listening with a coffee, whiskey and fine cigar
