Deutsche Grammophon's new upcoming album features Hans Rott's Symphony, Mahler's Blumine, and the spurious Symphonisches Präludium played by the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra conducted by Jakub Hruša. To be released on October 14th 2022 according to prestomusic.

Yet another Hans Rott Symphony recording to be heard, but what I'm most interested in here is the Symphonisches Präludium. Current consensus suggests that this work was sketched by Bruckner as an orchestration exercise for his student Rudolf Krzyzanowski. However, virtually all performances of this piece uses the "Mahlerian" orchestration by Albrecht Gürsching (who falsely thought the piece was by Mahler). Only 1 commercial recording of Krzyzanowski's original orchestration exists (by a School Orchestra!)

I wonder if this new recording will finally use Krzyzanowski's original, or use the Gürsching like all others.

"The Franz Schmidt Project has been set up by Jonathan Berman to record all four of Schmidt's symphonies with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales. These will form the backbone of a far reaching project to perform and promote the music of Franz Schmidt leading to his 150th Birthday in 2024."

The First Symphony seems to have been already recorded in January and clips from the recording sessions are uploaded: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uROr8pOE1iA
