Maybe this is a shameless plug, but I think it's appropriate to inform at this place:

Oskar Fried has also written about 70 minutes of songs with piano. A recording of them is expected to appear at Capriccio, with the singers who also have sung "Verklärte Nacht" on the older cd discussed in this thread.
And a revised edition of the songs has just gone to print: http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/0700340009/

Weird that Fried's most successful work Das Trunkene Lied for chorus and orchestra is not included on this cd.

This is due to the fact that it is very much a complex piece that the producers couldn't organize to be recorded.
There are no current plans for a recording so far, but there will be a performance in 2015 by "das junge orchester NRW" (http://www.djo-nrw.de/Home.htm) which is planned to be recorded and broadcast by Deutschlandradio Kultur (which would make it available through its online stream).
