That seems to be brokenish.

Updated the link.

In Milano, Italy on December 23rd, 1870, Asger Hamerik premiered a lyrical drama in five scenes, entitled La Vendetta.

I have just uploaded a recording of it in the downloads board, although I have zero information on its details. Also, the singers aren't top notch, but the overture is in itself quite pleasant and the sound quality is excellent.

The libretto was written by the composer himself in both Danish and Italian, and it appears to be an original story. A score reduction for singer and pianoforte may be viewed here: https://books.google.com/books/about/La_Vendetta_Dramma_lirico_in_cinque_scen.html?id=wOaGxHnr_wUC

My understanding is that Delius originally wrote Paa Vidderne (In the Mountains) as a melodrama in 1888, based on the poem of the same name by Henrik Ibsen. The music there is slightly more than incidental, and it has enough emotional weight where I wouldn't call it "light." This was never performed until 1981 on Norwegian TV. Not sure if the archival footage is still out there.

The symphonic poem has exactly the same title, it seems, with similar themes. This was performed in 1891.

Both works appear together on the Classico release.

It was recorded August, 2019.

Hermann has much more emphasis on the brass than Lauber. Lauber's symphonies sound more "stately," if that makes sense. They do a better job at representing that Swiss pastoral theme, with more inventive writing for woodwinds, particularly in the Andante of the 1st symphony. That's where I see the contrast.

Similar to Robert Hermann, Alan. Not their sound, but that they are both Swiss composers who stand out like no other.

Review for the album from Pizzicato.

Yes, I saw that. I am sometimes wary about those translations which can lose some of the original meaning just so they can rhyme in English.

Is there an English translation for the text of Traumkönig und sein Lieb?

Mark, do you know if these songs range across orchestral, chamber, piano, etc?

Album is now streaming, and also available for digital download purchase:

I also have to add that this studio recording of the 1st symphony is superior to the radio broadcast. The strings sound fuller and less tinny, and the bass is much more wholesome. The tempo in the Andante espressivo is also taken at a slightly slower pace, which helps bring out the melodies to full effect.

Bravo!

Thank you, Fred! You guys are doing great work. Your Lauber record is excellent, and I am looking forward to this new release.

If anything, the second sounds more old-fashioned than the first

I agree with you, Ilja. Particularly in the 2nd movement, it has that loveliness of decades prior with the recurring theme.
