Maybe also adding on that the good people in Singapore has recorded the Robert Russell Bennett Violin Concert and the Vernon Duke Violin Concerto (Chloe Hanslip, violin Andrew Litton, Conductor) for a future Chandos release.
The new recording from Singapore of the Kozlowski Requiem will be released on Pentatone April 2024.

To Adrianos earler comment; The Bernard Herrmann Clarinet Quintet has indeed been adapted for Clarinet and String Orchestra. It's now been premiered and recorded for a future release. 

I totally agree with John Boyer. The full string version of a String Quartet is just an additional version, making it possible to be performed in a bigger concert hall setting and for a bigger audience to enjoy. The Herrmann Echoes version is in my opinion very suited for full strings size and an good addition to the string orchestra repertoire, besides Herrmann's Sinfonietta and the music from Psycho. Herrmann being Herrmann would properly not agree to any adaptation of his music, if he had still been alive. He was asked by Stokowski and Beecham to do a concert suite of Wuthering Heights, but never came around to do it.       

The statement from Adriano was the release was not needed. It looks like it has an audience, the quality of the music would be up to individual taste, like David Hurwitz also states in his YouTube review. Personally I think the suite is perfect for concert hall programming, the concert in Singapore got indeed great response from the audience and is a good introduction to Herrmann's music. Same for Echoes, now possible to perform for string orchestra and not limited to chamber music programs.     

Adriano wrote: "In my personal view, this recording is not necessary." It looks like the audience don't agree, the album went into the UK Classic Chart as No. 5 first week and is now No.10 this week.
The suite of WH is a nice introduction to the opera and is easier to program for the concert hall with only two singers and 1 hour length.

The Russian 1988 recording has a lot of added percussion and not based on the original manuscript.
The concert and recording in 2021 will be based on the original manus.

The two concerts will be recorded for CD release. It will be the original version of the Requiem.
