I have been waiting for the Serenade to make an appearance on SA-CD for years, and can not wait to have it.
Dare I hope for the two symphonies to follow? Neither has been represented in SA-CD form.
My fingers are crossed, but my thanks for this, bissie!
It may interest you to know that the Jarvi recording of Stenhammar's First Symphony was the very first BIS recording I bought. I really love Stenhammar's compositions and consider him to be the finest representative of all that is loveliest in Swedish music. And, of course, the Serenade is, in my opinion, his finest work (and possibly the most sublime Swedish compositions ever).
