NEW COMPOSER THREAD (I believe)

String Quartets Op.1 Nos. 1-3 (http://a-fwd.to/1HFOACJ)

Truly fun stuff. There's not much else out there:

A 2-disc set of his chamber music on DUX (http://a-fwd.to/1fZ4dMg)

A recording of his op.8 String Quartets (CD Accord) (http://a-fwd.to/3yinWAa); I've heard neither of them, except for Amazon snippets.

A recording of Violin Sonatas, a quartet et al. on Acte Prealable (http://a-fwd.to/1m71UlF)

...and out of print recordings of his Passion (Pro Musica Camerata) (http://a-fwd.to/46DXrln),

a Symphony in C (DUX) (http://a-fwd.to/52Q5RRX), and

some harpsichord music (http://a-fwd.to/2k8zDlI), shared with other composers (Acte Prealable).

Anyone else heard (and liked - or not) Elsner?
