Oh, this is REALLY welcome news! I'm not familiar with Mysterien and from the excerpt it's difficult to get an idea of its contours, but Episodes concertantes is a true masterwork that badly needed a decent recording. A must-buy for me.
This is actually a re-release of the musiques suisses disc, Ilja. The performers are all the same...
Thought the coupling sounded weirdly familiar.

Nice catch! I would not have known since the Ars Produktion cover presents it like a new recording. It is welcome to have this back in print nevertheless.

Turns out I somehow missed the first release of this recording entirely, so for me it truly is new.
