I've searched but cannot find a reference that these two works have ever been recorded.
There's no vinyl LP that I can find issued by Supraphon.
Certainly, there's never been any CD issued.
Anyone heard either of these on a radio broadcast?
Which two works?
Look at the subject of post. ;)

Besides his many chamber music compositions, (and the Martha opera) the Grove lists these for orchestral works:
I think you have misread this, it should be
Matka (
Mother) op. 35 His other opera is
New Land (
Nová Zemé) op. 47
There is a famous opera,
Martha, by Flotow.
I also cannot see the two unrecorded works to which you refer.

Fixed! I was typing what I was thinking about instead of paying attention. :-D

Too bad! I thought you had discovered an opera by
Haba that was unknown to me!
I spent some time looking for information on the Soviet-era Violin and Viola Concertos: according to one source, neither are in a microtonal style.
Returning to Hába after a sizeable break. Going to go through the string quartets chronologically.
No.1 was composed in 1919 under the guidance of Franz Schreker and shows a mastery of classical formal structure. The language is highly chromatic but never abandons tonality. Nothing to write home about, but probably outdoes Hindemith's first essays in the genre.

You have recordings of all of them?! I am impressed! Somewhere in my archives are scores for two string quartets, photocopied in the 1970's, which I should revisit also!

It's the NEOS box set by the Hába Quartett (highly recommended):

Which quartets do you have the scores to? I'll need to see if I can get ahold of something through ILL - the 2nd is on IMSLP...
