cpo has announced a new recording with two piano trios (opp.15 (©1920) (in C major according to cpo; the score is available at IMSLP and it certainly looks like it's in A minor to me...)) and Op.48 (C minor, 1930s?, ©2008), together with his piano quartet Op.59 (unpublished?, perhaps composed around 1942 as was his Op.57 string quartet?.)

(As usual with Busch, Op.15's greatest deviation from 19th-century Romanticism are somewhat into Reger's orbit, but not further; to me anyway the score and parts suggest the sort of thing Reger was writing in the early 1900s, maybe... (especially a passage like the imitative opening of Busch's finale.)) No idea (not even sound samples yet, but then it's not available until next week...), re the other two works. But if one's found one likes his music so far, worth a try (and if it's available for download from some source when it does come out, one might be able to download just the four tracks of op.15, if it matters.)
