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.
