Does anyone have information about this series Naxos announced as Orchestral Works Volume 1? It suggests there're more volumes to come.....

Unfortunately not. Of course, this release on the same label rather confuses things:

Greetings, may I refer you to these previous discussion threads dating from last year. It would be timely on my part to touch base with the Arco Diva production team to see how their production and release scheduling are coming along at this point in time.

Vol.2 will feature De Profundis, the Slovak Suite and world premiere recording of Two Valachian Dances for Orchestra. Here's the ending of De Profundis:
