Another March release from cpo.
Kaminski's String Quintet from 1916 was arranged for String Orchestra by his pupil Reinhard Schwarz-Schilling in 1927
with the title Werk für Streichorchester. Maybe a student exercise?
It's an extensive work with a duration of approximately one hour.

Which reminds me that a year or so I bought a Naxos CD with three of Schwarz-Schillings' works on it conducted by Serebrier. And I was mightily impressed and have wanted to hear more of him ever since.

But Kaminski is a new one to me. Argh, more debt!

Many thanks Morten - another name to investigate. For good or ill, it is not true at all that there is a finite number of unknown composers!! (And we'd complain if there were - what a dreadul prospect: nothing to explore!)

For further reading about Kaminski there's a decent website run by the Kaminski Gesellschaft. Unfortunately only in German.

Musikmph.de also talks about him in some of their prefaces, and there are some scores of his at IMSLP. Some of his music has (if I may mention- please delete this if not??) been uploaded here, furthermore... (not his chamber works, which I do hope to hear, as I do those of Dessoff before long, one of which Dessoff said- half or not at all jokingly he expected- well, he expected Brahms to be remembered mostly as his quintet's dedicatee, or something similar.
If I quietly say/mutter/think never be complacent, I'm not just responding to Dessoff and not just to an imagined audience but to myself as well, of course...
