Great news. I wish Dacapo also would record Launy Grondahl's sole symphony.

The description gets it wrong of course (must be Symphony Op. 9, not No. 9).

I did hear it, but the mono sound put me off a little (it's not that bad, nevertheless), though the piece does sound quite promising, even barely reminding me of Langgaard in spots.
