Thank you to Julius Bürger for composing this rare symphony before fleeing the autocracies of Europe. And Thank you to Exileart for recording this masterpiece.
I don't read the gray lady much, but that newspaper says '. . . [T]he music director, has concocted a concert season that combines the tried and true (Mozart's "Don Giovanni" Overture, the First Symphony of Brahms and of Mahler, too, Ravel's "Mother Goose" and others) with such rarities as a piano concerto by Roger Sessions and Julius Burger's "Eastern Symphony."'
