I picked up a CD of Danish composer Asger Hamerik's first two symphonies
on Marco Polo.  Lovely, lovely music.  I won't be throwing away my Brahms
and Dvorak any time soon as a result, but I'm still very happy with my
purchase.  I was able to get the recording cheap through a commercial music
club.

I also recently ordered through the same music club CDs of symphonies by
Tournemire (sp?) and Menin, "sound unheard" so to speak.  What am I in for,
anything good?

And if anyone has recommendations of little known 19th century symphonists,
I'd be glad to hear about it.
