Navigation etc.

There is a recording on Centaur but it omits the Intermezzo movement. Estimating that movement at 3 minutes and adding that to the 38-minute duration of the one (as of 3/2019) existing recording, one gets ca.41 minutes for the suite. It is sometimes online described mistakenly as a suite for piano and orchestra because its one recording is as a coupling to the last instalment in a series of Rubinstein's piano concertos.

Definitely composed before November 1894, of course, come to think of it... Specific composition date from Philip Taylor, Anton Rubinstein: A Life in Music, p.236 (who claims publication was also in 1894, but © on score is 1895.)
