John Smyth recommended: >...the Chamber Symphony as a stunning, yet small-scale example of >Schreker's orchestral and compositional mastery. Serendipity in the form of a misread catalogue number provided me with this wonderful piece and I support John's opinion very strongly. I also recommend a CD of Schreker's Richard Straussian overtures and preludes on Marco Polo (8.220392) - it's one of their older releases but well worth the trouble of seeking out.
