This is a broadcast of the recording of August Ritter von Adelburgh's Symphony-Fantasia Op. 9 Aux Bordes du Bosphore on Spanish Radio RNE, usually available for a few weeks if anyone is interested in a Romantic composer born in Turkey of Croatian and Italian descent. Nice piece.

Thanks, Allison.  It's a lovely piece of the kind of stuff this forum is all about.

I captured this and have it downloaded if anyone is interested......

Jerry, Yes, please! Thank you! After listening to all 42 voluptuous, esoteric minutes of this, I dreamed, "Now, wouldn't it be nice if someone downloaded THIS!" What a "capture"! How/where else would this be available than here?!

I'm not familiar with the composer or the piece but if there's 42 minutes of esoteric voluptuousness on offer, you'd have to be mad to turn your nose up at it!  And so a hearty "yes, please, Jerry" from me too.

I believe it is available on CD, that is why I didn't post it here where it might lead to a problem, but put it in as a listening recommendation.

This page shows a sold copy on Ebay, and the number of Brilliant Classics CD is there.

Well, if you get it sorted out and it's OK, I'll gladly upload it.

Is the broadcast of a live performance or a recording, Jerry?  If it's live, you can send it on in.

I can't say for sure, but there is no applause.   The performers are the Sinfonia da Praga under Emra Araci if that helps any......

They are the same performers as on the Brilliant Classics CD, then, Jerry.  That doesn't necessarily mean that it's a broadcast of that recording but it's at least probable, sadly.

Too bad - we tried.  Those who have internet capture programs can pick it up.  The Sinfonia starts about 9 minutes into the program.  It is quite a lovely work.
