More Rathaus on tap for this evening, now listening to his Piano Concerto of 1939.
This is a marvelous nostalgic work worthy of much more notoriety.
Unlike the Prelude, this is Rathaus at his best...

Mmm...got very little of his downloaded, so listening to a piece of 'incidental' (?) music called Uriel Acosta. He seems to have had a very 'interesting' life, in common with many from his background & era, but clearly found a niche that suited him at college in the States.
Will try the works you've found when I've finished this - thanks !
Instead of downloading you may want to record and listen live as it is much less limited timewise. Takes longer, but then you can quickly determine if you want discard or retain it. Re Rathaus, his music is a mixed bag, but I think the piano concerto,polonaise and symphonies are quite noteworthy. To my disdain, he is ften lumped with Schoenberg, but I feel he shares little with him except original nationality and chronology.
I will have to listen to Uriel Acosta again..it did not stick with me, some of his music is not an easy meal upon first hearing. What do you think of the piece?
This is also worth a listen, also 2 symphonies are there:
