The 1956 op.109 is titled "Pezzi sinfonici".
It exists on Scandinavian Classics (Okko Kamu cond.).

[eschiss1]

Pezzi sinfonici was first issued on a Louisville Edition LP with Piston's Serenata and other works around 1958, in any case, I gather (and then more recently on a Classico CD with Szymanowski's symphony no.2, conducted, as you say, by Okko Kamu. Recordings from 1994 (Szymanowski), 1993 (Bentzon) and 1995 (a brief Shostakovich work).) Classico is a Danish label- ah. Ok, now I understand you...

[alberto]

All the labelled "Scandinavian Classics" I own bear the indication "licensed by Classico". BTW only part, I would say a minority, of them contains Scandinavian music.
