The Constanze Quartet, who completed their excellent cycle of Draeseke quartets recently, will play string quartets by Felix Woyrsch, Joaquin Turina and Darius Milhaud on 20 December 2021 in the Stadthalle of Neumünster in northern Germany. The Woyrsch work is String Quartet No. 2 in C minor, op. 63. As we can read in this newsletter, the Constanze Quartet plans a recording of Woyrsch's Piano Quintet together with pianist Oliver Triendl:

Thanks for the heads-up. That seems like a 'must buy' for me. I have only recently become acquainted with Woyrsch's symphonies which are all well worth hearing.

If you want to study the score of Woyrsch's still unrecorded Symphony No. 6, it has been printed now for the first time:

Thank you very much. I didn't know that there was a sixth symphony!

There is even a seventh symphony extant: the Symphony in B flat minor, written in the 1880s, performed a few times, but then withdrawn. The composer did not destroy the score, so there is an opportunity to revive the work. If that will happen the future will show.

Another yet unrecorded orchestral work by Woyrsch is his Violin Concerto "Scaldic Rhapsody":

A few weeks ago a CD with Woyrsch's complete organ music was released. There are a Passacaglia on Dies Irae, and eleven Chorale Preludes. I think that these are great works, but the interpretation of the organist sounds a bit tensionless to me.
