I do recall Raymond Lewenthal's "Romantic Revival" that went through at least three record labels before sputtering out. An Indiana-based pianist named Frank Cooper did find some good stuff--IIRC he recorded the Ignaz Brüll 2nd piano concert. But as a whole, the 19th century did produce it's share of stuff that deserves to be forgotten, as has every time period.
