The 1894 symphonic poem "Lente-Idylle" exists on Discover Cd 920100 (A.Rahbari cond., BRT Phil.Orch.).

[alberto]

In the Naxos Cd 8.550584 (formerly Marco Polo) "Flemish Romantic Music" (the ubiquitous A.Rahbari conducting the BRT Phil.Orch.)  there is a "Fir Symphony" lasting 19' 04" (four movements without a break). As the title (and the booklet) are only in English (and say nothing about the year of composition) I cannote locate the work in the catalogue.

[Christo]

No wonder, the Fir Symphony is actually by Arthur Meulemans and is listed correctly in his catalogue as the Symphony No.3 "Dennensymfonie" [Fir Symphony]. 

The Mortelmans in this cd is another piece, his 1922 Symphonic Poem "Morgenstemming" [Morning Mood] listed here above with the cd mentioned.

[Dundonnell]

I should have clarified the situation regarding the Meulemans "Fir Symphony" which some sources, incorrectly, assume to be his Symphony No.1
