They are fine, expressive songs and Sohy's subtle, mainly autumnal orchestration is very effective indeed. I wonder if the piano quintet version came first? According to the booklet accompanying this set, at the time of making the recording (2021) the orchestral version had never been performed in public, though the chamber version was first performed in 1912 with the composer herself at the piano.
