STÖHR, R.: Orchestral Music, Vol. 4 - Chamber Symphony (Sinfonia Varsovia, Hobson)

From the early days of the twentieth century until the Anschluss forced him into American exile, Richard Stöhr (1874–1967) was one of the more prominent personalities in Viennese musical life, as composer, teacher and author. Earlier releases in this series of recordings revealed him to have an individual voice, somewhere between Bruckner, Mahler, Korngold and Strauss. It can be heard in its full glory in his Chamber Symphony of 1912, a sunlit score modest in its orchestral demands but expansive in its ambit and generous in its ceaseless flow of gorgeous melody.
