Rtenyes,
Here's some suggestions for string music:
Bartok Divertimento Decca SXL 6026 (Has been reissued)
EMI ASD 521 Barbirolli conducts English String Music by Elgar & Vaughan Williams. (Been reissued)
Martinu Concerto for Two String Orchestra, Piano & Timpani on Supraphon. Powerfull work written at the start of WWII in 1939 like the Bartok above.
Frank Martin wrote several pieces for string orchestra: Passacaille for String Orchestra and Etudes for String Orchestra - both on London/Decca
Bloch Concerto Grosso 1 & 2 on Mercury SR90223
Bliss Music for Strings Lyrita SCRS 33
Szervansky Sernade for String Orchestra Qualiton LPX 1085. Mono but nice, especially the middle slow movement.
Ernst Hermann Meyer Symphonie for String Orchestra Nova 885110
Sarai Sernade for Strings Hungaroton LPX 11636 (This is stereo).
David Diamond Rounds for Strings. There's a Columbia recording of this with Bernstein conducting if my memory is correct. I can't lay my hands on the record to be sure.
I have Pye record (GSGC 14042) that has the Rawsthorne Concerto for String Orchestra the Berkeley Sernade for Strings on it. I think Pye is a reissue label and these probably were originally issued on either EMI or Decca.
Have fun and enjoy.
Scott
