Hans Rott Orchestral Works, vol.2

[Mark Thomas]

What label Mark?

I had the Cincinnati recording for years, but Paavo Järvi's has now superceded it. It's superior in every respect.

Järvi's Rott is on RCA, to answer the question meanweiler.

(My apologies to the lovable much-maligned doggies.)

Sorry, Mark and members. My glasses need help I fear. I was only comparing what I have.  Perhaps a reviewer will compare for us. I am very happy with the Ward recordings, also having the first volume. I would not be surprised if he went to school on the other recordings, learned a lot from them and produced a great recording.

I received the CD this week. From the booklet about the Sinfoniesatz E-dur:

"Whoever ist familiiar with Rott's symphony will immediately ascribe to it the Symphonic Movement in E major (1878), as it represents the first version of its first movement, although the differences are clearly discernible on listening to it."

That's it.
But it is a fascinating piece on its own.

I did not pick up on it "chriss" but I will go back and relisten to it. Either way, it is a fine recording and a nice way to have the works of Rott. I still have not listened to the Jarvi yet.
