The E-flat symphony is now available on CD, coupled with a 9-minute concert aria by another Swiss composer.

Hmm.  Somehow I missed that when I searched the threads. 

Alan Howe

It doesn't have a very helpful title - apologies.

NEW UPLOAD!!

Konzert-Ouvertüre, Op.16 (1861)

The Concert Overture was composed nine years later than the symphony. The unmistakable stamp of Beethoven is still there especially in the slow introduction.

It runs for about 14 mins - LINK:

Fine, sinewy stuff. Very indebted to LvB - and Weber too, I thought - but certainly an envigorating listen overall. Thanks.

Thanks Martin, a very enjoyable work. Like Alan, I perceived a very Weberian energy in this piece.
