[Andromede]

I would second Augusta Holmes. I bought the Naxos CD of her music :

Andromede symphonic poem
Irlande symphonic poem
La Nuit et l'Amour: Interlude de l'ode symphonique - Ludus pro Patria symphonic poem
Ouverture pour une Comédie symphonic poem
Pologne symphonic poem

Fantastic stuff...if you like the Wagnerian style.

Hi all, my first post.

I'd love to hear more from August Bungert and I'd like to hear that 'Mysterium nach Hiob' sounds interesting!

I downloaded his opus 16 piano for 4 hands piece and playing thru my midi and I really like it.

He left 360 + songs and I'd like to hear all of them transcribed for the piano.

What about this work:

Homerische Welt (Homeric World - other title: Die Odyssee - The Odyssey) opera-tetrology, op. 30, libretto by August Bungert
Part I: Circe, musical tragedy in three acts, op. 30/1, premiered 1898 in the Dresden Court Opera (Hofoper)
Part II: Nausicaa, musical tragedy in three acts, op. 30/2, premiered 1901 in the Dresden Court Opera
Part III: Odysseus' Return, musical tragedy in three acts, op. 30/3, premiered 1896 in the Dresden Court Opera
Part IV: Odysseus' Death, musical tragedy in three acts, op. 30/4, premiered 1903 in the Dresden Court Opera

I wonder who has all his works.....love to get a hold of them.
