A bit surprised to find we don't have a thread for the Swiss composer Hans Huber yet, so rectifying that now.

Hans Huber wrote eight symphonies, concertos, operas, choral music and chamber music among others. The symphonies have all been recorded and are available on Sterling.

His second symphony is quite nice. I should get back to listening to the rest of them! (And, I've added this thread to the list of composer threads!)

I've ordered the 5-disc set of the symphonies and it should be here soon. Looking forward to hearing them. I've been looking at them for a little while now.

Update: It's arrived.

Listening to Symphony No. 1 again and it's a very pleasant Romantic work akin to Schumann and Brahms, I would say.

A quite uneven composer, I would say, but his Symphonies nos. 2, 4, and 8 have impressed me. The 2nd (Böcklin-Symphonie) is his most "epic" and dramatic symphony, the 4th is notable for its colorful contributions from piano and organ in sort of a concerto grosso fashion, and the 8th possesses a lovely pastoral atmosphere.

This new release has appeared on YouTube. There's something really weird about CPO releases. Its webpage doesn't show these releases, but they do come up on YouTube the first. Shouldn't it be the other way around?

Part of the tragedy of the Palestinians is that they have essentially no international support for a good reason: they've no wealth, they've no power, so they've no rights.

Wow! That doesn't even appear on JPC (CPO's own store) and it is not anywhere in the Naxos database for distributors/retailers, even as an upcoming release.

I don't think it's been officially released yet.

There's also a CD on the Musiques Suisses label with the Aura Quartet.
