Bentzon had over 700 opuses, which unfortunately may have dliuted the quality of his music and exposed more folks to his music of lesser quality. Being prolific may have been a disadvantage, I will have to hear more of his later works to make that assessment. Some of his music is quite angular at times. And I must pick up the Danachord CD's for 3,4,5,and 7 you mentioned, thanks again.
It tends to be assumed that if a composer has written so many pieces, the quality must be uneven, but if there are poor pieces by Bentzon I haven't heard them yet. I digitised symphonies 3, 5 & 7 from old LPs, but if these are the performances reissued on Danachord, I can't post them. Danachord has no moral right to sit on this fine music..copyrights are not for infinity, are they?

Listening to The Volund Smed (Wayland the Smith) Suite by the Danish Composer Fini Henriques(1867-1940). Delicious, tonal, lyrical and dramatic music..IMHO,a very fine composer. Apparently was very popular in his native Denmark but virtually unknown internationally.

Wow, well done, Mr. JR; totally unknown name there. Now found on YT a rather lovely suite for oboe & strings which I'm happily listening to ! Thanks so much.

Berkshire had a da capo release of some of his music on offer which I purchased not so long ago. This: http://www.broinc.com/search.php?row=0&brocode=&stocknum=&submit=Find+Item&text=Henriques%2C+Fini+{1867-1940}%3A+%27Romance+Op.12&filter=all Quite nice. If you do a search there are two or three other things of his available in compilations there as well.

Listening to George Rochberg's Oboe Concerto on uTube. The NYC Philharmonic does a superb job under Zubin Mehta. This was not something I had expected to be expected from an oboe concerto. This fine music is some Rochberg's most gripping.
The CD is avaiable here and is worth every penny for the enriched sonics which this piece merits..
I know Rochberg wrote othet orchestral works, 6 wonderful symphonies and a highly unconventional masterpiece(IMHO) violin concerto but this oboe cpncerto makes me wonder other concertos I may have missed. Imagine if he did an Organ Concerto!!

Agree, Mr. JR - it's on now; grand start to Easter morning ! I'm also a fan of Imago Mundi, & thanks to 'James Stuart' on YT now have a much wider collecton of Rochberg's music....still not convinced by the 12 tone so much though.

I'm not at all a fan of 12 tone music either, but the quality of Rochberg's music is such that it dosen't matter. Perhaps it is a mixture and that makes it enticing. All the Rochberg symphonies and lengthy but fabulous violin concerto can be found on Utube, the 5th is my favorite and a real blockbuster. Both are on CD and the cd's do real justice to his music.. the vc starts here

Last night was the well-tempered guitar (24 P+F for guitar duet) by Castelnuovo-Tedesco... A longtime favorite of mine, and something I've not listened to in quite some time. Tonight it is the 2 organ symphonies of Johannes Haarklou, along with his P+F on B.A.C.H.
