Stöhr - one of those all too few unsungs none of whose works we've heard so far disappoints. Toccata really have struck a rich seam here.

The Toccata pipeline mentions that Symphony No. 1 will be in the series' second release. I can hardly wait.

Agreed. And hoping for many volumes of this composer's works (brief vocal works and large symphonic and choral ones, etc.) in future, there seems to be some really promising as yet unrecorded music to go here.

This is incredibly inventive music. The slower sections of the Concert im alten Stil in particular are wonderfully lyrical and touching.
