It looks as if Chandos have now recorded all his published orchestral works apart from the Second Suite. If they intend to produce a 3rd disk I don't know what they will add to it to fill it up - unless, of course, there is some unpublished material that has been unearthed.

I doubt they will, but they could - conceivably - include orchestrations published in 1923 by Woodhouse (1879-1939) of the Woodland Sketches.

They'd likely fill up the disc with orchestrations of some of his piano pieces. I remember someone orchestrated his Sea Pieces a few years ago. One of MacDowell's biographies mentioned that there are/were "sketches" for a symphony, though it didn't elaborate how much material existed.

There is such an orchestration @ IMSLP too but unlike that of the Woodland Sketches I would think it -too- recent - from a few years ago - to feel the least bit genuine in such a series...
