An interesting new release coming from CPO in mid-Oct:

I enjoyed the symphonies a lot but the chamber music isn't always easy to get hold of because of the obscure label it was on. Looking forward to this and should bring the music to a wider audience, hopefully!

Does anyone know anything about the music of Prince Heinrich XXIV Reuss of Köstritz? He seems to have left a reasonably substantial body of works including six symphonies and a lot of chamber music. The only recording I can find is a viola sonata and the extracts on amazon.com sound quite promising. He is a younger contemporary of Brahms and died in 1910 according to wikipedia.
