John Smyth recommended:

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.
