"The Franz Schmidt Project" by Jonathan Berman & BBC National Orchestra of Wales

True. Though a half-complete recording under different conductors (symphonies 2 & 3) was released in 1977 by Classical Excellence, I believe?? (I don't know if symphony no.1 was recorded before Etti/Tonkünstler Orchestra on ÖRF in 1984... symphony no.4 first in 1955, yes.)

Thanks, Adriano, for that personal memoir of Rajter and his pioneering work on behalf of Franz Schmidt. We must always be grateful to those musicians who brought great music to a wider public. We are indeed fortunate to live in times when so much unsung repertoire can now be heard and appreciated.
