I have Weigl's String Quartet's with the Artis SQ Wien, which you pictured, but his Symphonies had somehow escaped my notice the past five years. I noticed immediately that Weigl's Symphony #5, The Apocalyptic, was dedicated to the Memory of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. I am also trying to recall what Weigl works I have heard at the Library of Congress, the Austrian Embassy, and the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum [ and none, I am virtually sure, in Berlin or Vienna].<BR/><BR/>Thank you both for the excellent blogging and commenting, which helped restore my European-American classical music animal spirits this otherwise culturally overcast day. (Google even helped me with a discount on my otherwise 'yellow-alert' CD purchase!)<BR/><BR/>Best wishes to you both.Garth Trinklhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11084463787729969177noreply@blogger.com
