Good find!

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I am very thankful that someone digs up these works supressed by the regimes. There is much valid and exciting music in the series "Entartete Musik" from London. The symphony here might not be musically what the Krenek from the same series is, but one cannot deny that this was a composer of some talent in the genre. Its orchestra is very large and well used. After only one listen, I am convinced that Rathaus was able to bring melody into his neo-romantic symphony, which is full of dissonances (at least for 1922) but never approaches atonality. To me, the symphony outshines the ballet, but that could also be a statement borne from a personal bias towards a sometimes too "Hanslick" view of music(I apologize if that offends). Both are admirably played and the sound is good as well. While this disc is going to appeal chiefly to the connosieur, it should undoubtedly do so at that."
