Going back a bit earlier in time to the early Romantic era, Cpo recorded the second, fourth, fifth, and seventh symphonies of the very fine Czech composer Johan Wenzel Kalliwoda (1801-1868). They have not yet recorded his first, third (on MD&G), or sixth (on Orfeo and Centaur) symphonies.
Also another Czech, Erwin Schulhoff. Cpo recorded his first, second and third symphonies but not the fourth, fifth, sixth, the Landschaften Symphony or the Symphonia Germania. The fourth and sixth have been recorded on a now very hard-to-find Supraphon CD, the fifth has been recorded on Capriccio, Koch Schwann, and Supraphon, the Landschaften has been recorded on Orfeo and the Germanica has been recorded on Channel Classics. Still, it would be very nice to see Cpo complete Schulhoff's symphonic cycle.
Cpo made a rare voyage onto American soil with their release of Gordon Sherwood's (b. 1929) Symphony no. 1, Sinfonietta and PC. It is enjoyable, tonal music in the Gershwin/Copland/Barber tradition but is nothing earth-shattering. He also wrote a Symphony no. 2 Classical Symphonie and a Blues Symphony for six saxophones and orchestra.
Cpo recorded all of the five numbered symphonies of the wonderful Turkish composer Ahmed Adnan Saygun. However, there still remains an unnumbered early Symphony from 1926 which I'd really like to hear.
Although way out of my comfort zone, the first, second, fourth, and seventh symphonies of Gloria Coates were recorded by Cpo out of fifteen total as well as a Sinfonietta and a Sinfonia Brevis.
