The main focus this year has been the work to finish  "Emil Hartmann Project".The editing and recording of manuscripts of unknown chamber-music has been a revelation and joy. I have worked with my wonderful colleagues from Thy Chamber Music Festival (thychambermusicfestival.dk), Belgian musicians: violist Tony Nys, cellist Justus Grimm, pianist Daniel Blumenthal - with the wonderful addition of Belgian violinist Nicolas Dupont , who will also join the Thy Festival this summer (August 12-25).

The CD will be released by the Danish label dacapo with planned release date: 19th of November at 4.30 PM in Unitarernes Hus on Dag Hammerskjólds Alle. My colleagues come to Denmark to perform and all-Hartmann concert in Taastrup Musikforening on 18/11 at 19.30 PM and in the revered Natmandsforening.

This is excellent news, and it would be even better if the "Emil Hartmann Project" also embraced modern recordings of the symphonies.

Quite - although thus far I have found Emil to be a rather pale shadow of his father, Johan Peter Emilius.

Yes, good news. Apart from his Serenade Op.24, and his Piano Trio, Op.10 (recordings of both can be heard on YT), the chamber music doesn't get much of an outing. And, yes, let's hope the symphonies are in their sights, too. I just have downloads that are labelled 'ex-Danish radio' - perhaps ex- UC.

Although no sound-bites as yet, this would seem to be well worth following up!..................https://www.jpc.de/jpcng/classic/detail/-/art/chamber-music/hnum/9504848 (https://www.jpc.de/jpcng/classic/detail/-/art/chamber-music/hnum/9504848)

This is probably the same as this (http://www.unsungcomposers.com/forum/index.php/topic,7354.msg77622.html#msg77622) thread, though jpc's different "Bestellen-nr" can be accounted for by the possibility that they may be offering a SACD version (9.######) as against a CD (8.######).

Thanks, Eric. I've duly merged the two threads.
