Rare orchestral works with great trombone solos
I am searching for orchestral pieces that are rarely performed but have great trombone solos.
Here is an example: "Symphonisches Praeludium" by Mahler or Brucker or Krzyzanowski or Guersching or ???
It is a nice interesting piece that is relatively short (7 minutes) and thus easy to program. It is rarely performed because it has a confusing history due to an almost Kafka-like chain of events: In brief, a manuscript was found in the estate of Krzyzanowski, who studied with Mahler under Bruckner. The manuscript bears Krzyzanowski's name but it attributed by the writer on the last page to Bruckner. A reduction of it without the attribution was given to a friend who suggested that it is an early lost work of Mahler and ask (without knowledge of the original manuscript) Guersching to produce a fully instrumented version (based on a torn up version of the reduction). Only later some conductor figured out that there are now two versions of it but when this guy died without heirs the original manuscript was thrown into the garbage by the city workers cleaning out the apartment. For information, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphonic_Prelude_(Bruckner)
I only know the Guersching version. The first few bars are a little mystic, then it turns quickly a little sentimental and develops further into parts that would make John Williams proud. It anticipates some music from Bruckner's 9th Symphony but then it sounds sometimes like Mahler. It is somewhat a chameleon. But why should we really care who composed it? Good music shouldn't require a name attached to it. The audience will love it. It has very nice almost trombone solos. The trombone is probably the dominant solo instrument in this piece.
A recording of the Guersching version was done by Neeme Jaervi with the Scottish National Orchestra under the title "Symphonisches Praeludium by Gustav Mahler":

The music including parts for the Guersching version can be procured
from Sikorski:
http://www.sikorski.de/475/de/0/a/0/orchesterwerke/1001016_symphonisches_pr_ludium.html
The partitur and faksimili of the original version can be procured
from Doblinger: (I am not sure whether they got parts.)

I think Sibelius' 7th is rarely performed. Possibly because it's the one Sibelius symphony you have to pay to rent.
I've been agitating for one of my local orchestras to do it. Even offered to pick up the rental.

It says in the details under the video.

Really good playing, I agree, and a good recorded trombone sound too.

Off the top of my head:
Berlioz, Symphonie Funubre Et Triomphale, 2nd movement
Stravinsky, Agon (Ballet)
Shostakovich, The Bolt (bass trombone)
Adams, City Noir
Respighi, Roman Festivals, last movement (not very lesser-known)
Berlioz, Symphonie Funubre Et Triomphale, 2nd movement

There's an article on this same topic in the recent ITA Journal. Some of the same pieces mentioned, so I won't double down. There's a nice solo in the Kurt Weil- 2nd Symphony. I recently played a piece by Goliov for solo cello (with a solo percussion group). Can't remember the title, but there are nice little solos for the 1st trombone (sort of like short Russian Easter solos - a couple of bars long at a time). On that occasion, our CEO at the time (not a musician) came up to me at a reception after the concert and congratulated me on my "Trumpet playing". No wonder we have trouble getting our literature performed.

Lance Green would have been principal for the SNO/Jarvi recordings. He currently still plays 2nd with the (now) RSNO. Second would have been Brian Free and bass played by Bob Hughes.

Seems unlikely that Symphonisches Praeludium is by either Bruckner or Mahler.

I don't know if you're including operatic repertoire, but if so - Abroise Thomas' Hamlet.

There's a nice chorale that opens the Overture to Verdi's "Nabucco". Just 3 trombones and Cimbasso (or tuba). Bet it would work even better with 4 trombones.

Quick! Get the lid back on that can of worms!
Shostakovich's 4th and 12th Symphonies don't get played much and have trombone solos.
Malcolm Arnold's Tam O'Shanter Overture is a really good trombone feature.

Thank you. Does someone has a link to the article in the recent ITA Journal? Also posting here is open access while the journal is just for members only. For instance, this makes a difference for college students (who are unlikely to pay for subscriptions/membership) suggesting repertoire to their university orchestra conductors.
The piece by Goliov, was it "Azul" (https://youtu.be/RgCA8zTeFOQ)?

Stravinsky Pulcinella Suite (and presumably the whole ballet) has a trombone solo that is from the fourth movement of a Sinfonia for 'cello by Pergolesi, which has been transcribed for trombone by Ralph Sauer. The Stravinsky score is for a single trombone, and has lots of nice exposed passages throughout.

The low brass moments and brief 1st tenor solo from the 3rd movement of Janacek's Sinfonietta are definitely something to behold.

I've never heard that before either. Apparently that is from Mozart's first "opera" of a sort, composed at age 11.
Certainly an unusual tactic.
Or was it? Were trombone/vocal duets a thing at the time? Or was it just some crazy 11-year-old thing to do?

Actually for some reason I haven't noticed 15th symphony by Shostakovich in this list (or do you count it as an often played piece?). It has a few rather long trombone solos in the slow movement.

I guess the question behind your question is what constitutes "rare"? "Rarity" is necessarily a somewhat subjective judgement since I am not aware of an empirical study that shows the frequencies which which works are performed or excepts are required in an audition.
Doug Yeo lists trombone excerpts in what he writes is the order of frequency asked, see https://www.yeodoug.com/resources/text/audrep.html. It list Mahler 3rd in 13. position but does not even mention Sibelius 7. This may be an answer to your question.

That's the frequency asked for at auditions, not concert performances. I've heard (and seen) Sibelius 7 programmed far more often than Mahler 3.

Doug Yeo lists trombone excerpts in what he writes is the order of frequency asked, see https://www.yeodoug.com/resources/text/audrep.html. It list Mahler 3rd in 13. position but does not even mention Sibelius 7. This may be an answer to your question.
That's the frequency asked for at auditions, not concert performances. I've heard (and seen) Sibelius 7 programmed far more often than Mahler 3.

I think the list adds value only if it mostly contains "rare" works beyond what is known from common books of trombone excerpts. Of course, as mentioned before "rare" is a vague and subjective criterion. I wouldn't want to include Mahler 3 into the list (although I like it very much) because in my mind it is one of the most well-known trombone solos but if you want to create a comprehensive list of trombone solos, please do. The internet and trombone forum is perfect for it as I believe many people will contribute. I think an extremely comprehensive list would be very valuable as well. I wouldn't do it under the header "rare" though.

Hi Bischipper -
The timestamp you put on Gruber's Frankenstein!!! is actually a french horn solo. The trombone solo (played standing, according to the direction in the part) is toward the end of the piece, around the 27 minute mark in that performance. However, that player failed to make themselves audibly noticeable, and the camera did not show them. I'll see if I can find a better public video.

This is light years better.
Frankenstein!!! trombone solo:
https://youtu.be/wiqpJekng_4?t=1m40s
And I have also time stamped the amazing (alto, according to some sources) trombone solo that opens the 2nd scene in Thomas' Hamlet. I suspect Thomas and Berlioz liked each other's use of the trombone. I had never heard of this work, and then some years back on my way to teach a lesson, I turned on MET radio on satellite and this thing came right on - played by someone I once knew, no less. I was so shocked to hear a giant trombone solo in the middle of an opera that I thought for 10-20 seconds that it must have been a french horn.

If it's only 'rare' peices then I'd not include the Sibelius either. It's a very well known solo.
My point wasn't to make the Mahler 'rare' but that the Sibelius isn't 'rare' either.

I'm sure Sibelius 7 solo is very well known in some countries but Mahler 3 solo is known worldwide. At least I have never seen Sibelius 7 in audition program anywhere else except Finland.

It's not the most common of course, but it appears on US audition lists somewhat regularly. Frustratingly, it is sometimes asked for without a supplied part. I had to go to a library and copy it out by hand.

You are right. As I mentioned previously, "rarity" is a subjective and vague criterion. So necessarily the inclusion or exclusion may look arbitrary.
