This is described as a suite. It takes about as long as the selection (1. Act) recorded by Chandos.
I don't have the Chandos CD, so I cannot say if this is the same selection.

I don't think I have seen any mention of Richard Maux, Austrian, so I have downloaded three archival recordings, as you can see by the opus numbers he was very prolific, there are references on the Internet mostly in German, but sounds like he wrote almost a thousand piano pieces, alone! Well, seems so unusual that for all his life work, he isn't known. I very much enjoyed his music, I'm not usually one to hunt for "influences", but thought I heard a Richard Straussian nod or two. Anyway, I hope it is something new for you. The details of the recordings are in the track names. Jim

Colin didn’t list recordings in his Berg worklist, probably because there are so many of each work. There is at least one commercial recording of the Passacaglia fragment on a Chandos disc. The liner notes don’t claim this to be a premier recording, a claim made about the concert aria “Der Wein” which exists in numerous recordings, perhaps a mistake.

…from an old tape

Here is Franz Schmidt's Phantasiestück for piano and orchestra, performed - for the very first time - at a public concert on the tenth of this month. The broadcast sound quality was sort of average: sample rate 44100 Hertz and bit rate 112 kb/s. - And as has now been pointed out to me, this first link has about 3 seconds of sound missing:

https://www.mediafire.com/?2x4ivxvihbss4dv (https://www.mediafire.com/?2x4ivxvihbss4dv)

So . . . here is a replacement: the complete work, without the 3-second glitch. The only problem is that it comes from the "On Demand" web-page, and so the bit rate is reduced to 96 kb/s:

Franz Schmidt (1874 to 1939)

Here's a fine video of a concert given on the twenty-sixth of September at the Leipsic Gewandhaus. The major item - following Rachmaninoff's popular second concerto from 1901 - is Franz Schmidt's tremendous Second Symphony in E flat from 1913. The conductor was Semyon Bychkov and Kirill Gerstein played the piano-forte.

Franz Schmidt was born only one year later than Sergei R. His Second Symphony is among the best symphonic literature composed prior to the great war, and is worthy of comparison with (i.e. just as good as) anything by R. Strauss and G. Mahler.
