incidentally, (the symphony)- composed 1892-93, published finally in 1922 it seems, and this seems to be only its second commercial recording (plus there are one or two broadcasts, one of which I've heard I think.)

Up to now only MDG recorded the entire circle commercially.

Right. There's a radio broadcast cycle (or 2?) I'm aware of and maybe have heard (except for no.4 from it), and Naxos seems to be embarking on a second cycle, for which cheers.

Almost a radio broadcast cycle but lacked No. 4. All the others were uploaded to the forum as you can see in the Download Archive Czech Music Folder Contents.

Also, anyone still have his Princess Dandelion Overture that Justin uploaded here in 2020 but the link of which has expired?
