Thanks for this persuasive advocacy of three concerti which I very much appreciate as well. One comment somewhat surprised me -- you state that Ivanovs's orchestral legacy was "long neglected". Do you mean out of Latvia? If so, it is true that too few musicians and music-lovers know of his legacy in foreign countries. Within Latvia, I had a feeling that it was relatively well exposed during the Soviet occupation (I have easily found several of his symphonies on Melodiya LP's) and he was also the first Latvian symphonist to enjoy, deservedely, CD recordings by Naxos / Marco Polo after Latvia's recovered independence. By contrast, none of Ādolfs Skulte's symphonies seem to have made it to CD's. Even worse, only one of Kenins's eight magnificent symphonies (namely No. 4) has been widely available either on LP or on CD. At some point, BIS had plans to record the complete series. I hope that they shall fill that gap in the catalogue. CPO could do it as well.
