About

Almost twenty years ago, cpo recorded the first three discs in the Ernst Krenek symphony series. The Fourth Symphony was regarded as lost until five years ago when the Krenek Institute found the score in America. Cpo released this last year and are now proud to present the complete Krenek symphonic works in a four CD box, available at a very special price.

This series will become a milestone. Outstanding dynamics, excellent sound. An epochal cycle.” - Fanfare on Vol.1

The Concerto Grosso No.2 (1924), nicely done by Alun Francis and his Hanover-based orchestra, is a mock-Baroque piece that glances at both Pulcinella and Bach's First Brandenburg Concerto, though its acerbic dissonances and intimations of threat locate it firmly in the Austro-German world of the early 20th century.” - The Guardian on Vol.4
