The Polish composer Moritz Moszkowski (1854–1925) is best remembered for a handful of virtuoso piano pieces, but he also produced a substantial body of orchestral music, most of it unperformed for a century or more. The opening volume in this first-ever survey of his orchestral output presented the monumental symphonic poem Johanna d’Arc. On this latest release, two big-hearted Suites continue the process of discovery, opening a treasure chest of gorgeous melodies and sumptuous orchestral writing that make these forgotten gems irresistibly attractive.
