Thanks for keeping the Schulhoff flame alive, John!

Getting back on the Erwin train, what a wonderful, full-blooded performance of the 1st SQ:

I'm certainly trying keep the fire from extinguishing. ;)

Listening to the Symphony No. 5 makes me claim: what a stirring work! And in a spectacular recording to boot!

The current annihilation of a people on this planet (you know which one it is) is the most documented and at the same time the most preposterously denied.

The tragic and defiant 5th Symphony is a magnificent work and that's a fine recording of it.

Indeed, Jeffrey, and the rest of his symphonies are not half bad either. A wondrous composer with an attractive voice of his own.

It is a very interesting matching of works: the Suite is definitely the most experimental composition of the ones included, very lively, colourful and extremely varied because of the inspiration to different dancing rhythms and the Avant-garde, while Symphony No. 5 is graver, more powerfully animated, with a more dramatic tension, which remind me a little of Shostakovich; Symphony No. 2 is quirky and incredibly changeable.

Interesting, I need to revisit that Suite for chamber orchestra as I have zero recollections of it.

All these days I've been exploring his chamber works beyond the string quartets and I've been fascinated by how good they are. Today I listened to this CD and it's excellent in all accounts. Schulhoff wrote memorable music, with personality and spark, a quite consistent composer in my book. Fortunately record labels haven't ignored him.

I knew a handful of Schulhoff's songs from one Magdalena Kozena's recordings - I knew they were good. This is thee CDs worth from Bastille Musique, 80 songs - lots of little treasures here I think. Worth exploring.

So far my attention has been on Sunhai Im, she has a lovely voice!
