In response to Holger's very informative post-

(a) Gunter Raphael. I had no idea that Querstand had a Raphael series on disc ::) I shall certainly buy Volume 4 as soon as possible and have revised my catalogue information accordingly :) What you say about the other symphonies is sad but we may simply have to accept that.

(b) Kalvei Aho. I have huge respect and admiration for the commitment of BIS to Aho's music. Aho is a very fine composer indeed; one of the finest modern symphonists in fact. I have bought all the BIS releases. I was puzzled by the omission of Symphonies Nos. 5 and 6. I know that Robert von Bahr intended to record at least one of them (No.6, I suspect; Ondine have a recording of No.5 on cd) but abandoned the recording when he found that the conductor and orchestra could not handle the piece.

(c) Hilding Rosenberg. Robert von Bahr doesn't like Rosenberg's music. End of story.

(d) BIS in general. I used to buy a lot of BIS releases and still do buy their Aho releases :) but I note that the company is now issuing a lot of music which might be described as very "mainstream classical". I suspect that this may be because, like other record companies, they need sales to stay afloat :(
