PM *ME* if you want the link.... then write nice things about the music in the thread.

Excellent post!
After Vol. 1, another great work!
Thank you very much for initiating us
into the work of this great composer.

Thank you Phideas1 for posting this and for introducing me to the Orchestral work of this marvelous composer. I found this CD on another site in FLAC so I do not need the link but thank you again for posting this wonderful material to the forum. The CD from your first posting has become one of my favorite Classical CDs and to think in over 40 years of listening to Classical Music I had never heard of Franz Schreker. And if I may, I would also like to thank my friend Peter again for sharing some bonus material by this composer with me.

Yes, Our Man in Grease has been way ahead of us in the Schreker Dept. Discovering his music has been the only recent joy in my life. Have not felt like this since I first heard Gerald Finzi's music. It is encouraging that there remains hidden gems in the world.... a great pity the local opulent classical public radio station never played anything by this composer until a few weeks ago- and it registered.
