Naxos will be releasing the 1st cd of Joachim Eggert's symphonic music in January 2012.

In a private post from a forum member it has been brought to my attention that Joachim Eggert's "Bernadotte Cantata" will be performed on 14 October 2010 by the Helsingborg Symphony Orchestra.

22nd February:  Another birthday for Joachim Eggert (1779-1813) passes.  Sorry I can not provide an up-date wih repect of the recordings at Naxos or performances since his last birthday.

Two Eggert Symphonies Recorded for Naxos
December 16, 2009

Joachim Nicolas Eggert's Symphony in C major and Symphony in E flat major have been recorded by Gävle Symphony Orchestra conducted by Gerard Korsten between 23–27 December 2009 in Gävle Symphony Hall, Gavle, Sweden and will be released on Naxos 8.572457.

'Symphonies No 1 in C major and No 4 in E-flat major by Swedish Joachim Nikolas Eggert were among the first symphonies written where trombones are used. Both were stylishly played by the Gävle Symphony Orchestra and superbly conducted by Gerhard Korsten. These were enjoyable sessions, with good discipline and concentration throughout. We're looking forward to recording Eggert's Symphonies Nos 2 and 3.

If any of the Unsung Forum members in Gavle, Sweden on 20 November, be sure to get concert tickets.  That evening the Gavle Orchestra performs:

Joachim Eggert's Eb major symphony
Saint-Saen's 3rd violin concerto in B minor
Schuman's 3rd symphony in Eb major "Rhenish"

Poor health prevents me from going.   

Dear monitors;

Is there any way to adjust the members' rankings and number of postings manually so that they reflect contributions from both forum servers?  For instance, if a member had 150 postings on the old forum and 15 postings on the new forum, then his number of postings would be 165.  Rankings (new, junior, senior, etc.) would be adjusted according. 

The Gavle Symphony Orchestra announced its 2009-2010 concert program.  My favorite unsung, Joachim Eggert (1779-1813), will be performed twice:

Symphony in C-major on September 19th
Symphony in Eb-major on November 20th

I hope to attend one or both of the concerts.
