I like Louis Glass' symphonies. Granted, the Danacord/Plovdiv CDs leave much to be desired, but at least we can hear the music, and I find it gloriously Romantic.

My favorite is still #5, the so-called "Sinfonia svastika," which I first heard in the original Danacord release of Grondahl's 1950s performance. Of the four Danish rarities in this LP set, I found the Glass the most distinctive and memorable by far.

The Marco Polo issue with Marchbank and the South African Broadcasting Orchestra is decent enough. There's also an upload here with Edward Downes in a live performance, but I found it a little too eccentric interpretatively to be really satisfying.

Perhaps da capo might take up the cause with a new, improved recording!
