About

From the early days of the twentieth century until the Anschluss forced him into American exile, Richard Stöhr (1874–1967) was one of the more prominent personalities in Viennese musical life, as composer, teacher and author. Earlier releases in this series of recordings have revealed him to have an individual voice, somewhere between Bruckner, Mahler, Korngold and Strauss. It can be heard in its full glory in his Chamber Symphony of 1912, a sunlit score modest in its orchestral demands but expansive in its ambit and generous in its ceaseless flow of gorgeous melody.

‘For a first recording of undervalued works such as these, it is crucial that they be introduced to the music-loving public in splendid fashion, which indeed they are in these performances by Hobson and his colleagues in the Sinfonia Varsovia. The music is invariably well paced and technically precise making for a most rewarding listening experience. Toccata’s usual scholarly notes (in this case by William Melton) will also be of great interest to those interested in knowing more about this Austrian master. The disc receives a solid recommendation from me all around.’ – David DeBoor Canfield, Fanfare, on Vol.1 (TOCC0468)
