About

This second volume of the orchestral music of the Austro-American composer Richard Stöhr (1874–1967) reveals further marvels: the first of his two suites for string orchestra encases a moving slow movement between a charming prelude and an elegant fugue; and the four imposing spans of the expansive First Symphony offer grandeur and heartfelt profundity – as well as irresistibly catchy tunes that will set the foot tapping. Stöhr writes in a musical language somewhere between Bruckner, Mahler and his exact Viennese contemporary Franz Schmidt – but it is a voice increasingly readily recognised as his own.

“The performances here by pianist Agnieszka Kopacka-Aleksandrowicz and the strings and percussion of the Sinfonia Varsovia under the leadership of celebrated pianist and conductor Ian Hobson are, in one word, awesome. This is a disc that belongs in everyone’s collection, regardless of one’s usual listening pleasures.” – Jerry Dubins, Fanfare (TOCC0468 Volume 1: Music for String Orchestra)
