Sounds rather lovely:

Wikipedia has these all dating from 1918.
They do sound gorgeous. Many thanks for the heads up, Alan. The CD can be sampled on YouTube here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbA5HcWebpQ&list=OLAK5uy_l6jKnj7GUgvf6d2Rvv1pz4-GlRIG2jDMc).
Judging from the fact that his 11th has been recorded (by Urs-Joseph Flury on a Fono LP, with his violin concerto no.4 in A minor), there're quite a few of them. I think I look forward to that, if that happens.
Thanks!
(And, what looks like possibly a 2020 reissue of that LP, with violin sonata no.8 added - btw I wonder if Urs-Joseph is a composer-performer relative? Yes, ok, his son :) about the CD (https://vdegallo.com/en/produit/richard-flury-works-for-violin-urs-joseph-flury-orchestra-della-rsi-bruno-amaducci/)... apologies for that tangent.)
Yes, thanks for noting this. It's a must for me. ;)
For those interested in exploring Flury's music, there's a whole series of earlier recordings released by the same Swiss VDE-Gallo label (https://vdegallo.com/) of his orchestral, chamber, vocal and piano music, several of which I for one was unaware of. They can be sampled at Presto here (https://www.prestomusic.com/classical/search?search_query=flury%20VDE-Gallo) and most can be tracked down in full on YouTube.
Well worth exploring. Thanks, Mark.
These three early sonatas all date from 1918 and are characterised by an almost operatic lyricism and melodic generosity. I do urge anyone interested to investigate them.
