Well, as to pieces that are mostly ignored (unjustifiably), I
nominate Tchaikovsky's 7th symphony.  There is only one recording
of it by Ormandy and the Philadelphia in 1963 or thereabouts.
True, Tchaikovsky didn't actually finish it as he died shortly
after the 6th was first played.  However, I think the Russian
who actually finished it did an outstanding job.  I was bitterly
disappointed when the Utah Symphony cancelled a planned performance
of this work last spring.

Actually, I also feel that the first three symphonies by Tchaikovsky
are mostly ignored although not to the extreme degree as the 7th.
(So you guessed that I love P.I.T.)

cheers,
