I also have the Hartmann and Hamerik recordings. I agree with Richard that Dausgaard does a fine job, and I think highly of both composers. Concerning Hamerik, I have his 1st and 2nd symphonies on Dacapo and his 6th on CPO with some Gade. Dacapo has released a recording of Hamerik's 3rd and 4th symphony, but I have been unable to find it in stores or the web sites I have investigated. Does anyone know where I can buy this recording? [I ordered and received it from http://www.everycd.com/ -Dave] The Hartmann and Hamerik symphonies I have heard are well-constructed and fully engage my attention. These are two composers who rate more exposure than they get. I truely believe that concert audiences would be pleased with these works; the problem is that nobody appears willing to program them.
