Coming on Dux label in July a 4-CD set : 4 symphonies plus orchestral works by Maliszewski.

Sorry: 3 CD set.

Unfortunately, I can't find any information online anywhere that details the contents of this set. I would like to know what works other than the 4 symphonies are included. Has anyone fared better in their searches than I?

[Alan Howe]

Nope! Me neither.

[mikehopf]

4 Symphonies plus:

Joyful Overture Op 11
Scherzo & Overture Honouring Schubert
Fairy Tale Op 30
Legend Op 31

[Gareth Vaughan]

Thank you very much. Where did you find that info.?

Thank you.

We already have the 4th symphony played by that orchestra & conductor here in our Downloads - http://www.unsungcomposers.com/forum/index.php/topic,7794.msg81537.html#msg81537

Symphony No.4 in D major Odrodzonej i odnalezionej Ojczyznie (Reborn & Recovered Homeland) Op.21 (1925)

It was a live concert recording on 11 November 2018, from Polish radio I believe.

Either a pretty awful piece or a pretty awful performance - or both, IMHO IIRC! Unmemorable and lifeless.

I must confess I found No.4 dreary too. Utterly awful.

DUX seem to go in for these box releases whereby you have to buy loads of what you don't want in order to get anything at all.  I already have his Symphonies 1,3 and 4 and the Joyful (or "Festive") Overture - do I really want to buy them again to get the other pieces...?

[Alan Howe]

I'll be giving this a miss.
