Don't actually know if their liner notes mention this, but I think Loewe's "Themisto" overture may not be stand-alone, but rather may belong to his incidental music to a play by Raupach on that subject, which a 1898 biography of the composer mentions ("Carl Loewe: Deutschlands Balladencomponist".) (In fact, now that I check via Worldcat and whatnot, the full title of the overture, as published in 2018, is "Themisto : Ouvertüre der Schauspielmusik zur Tragödie von Ernst Raupach".)
