As I mentioned recently, I bought a Koch CD containing Schreker's Chamber
Symphony by accident.  It also contains some very atmospheric short
orchestral works.  I also have a Marco Polo CD of overtures and preludes.
On the basis of these two, I'm very much with John.

I'm just getting into Zemlinsky via the Lyric Symphony.  I heard the
Symphony #1 the other day and liked that too.  Oh well, it's only money.
