Released more than a decade after it was recorded, one has to wonder what held up the issue of Werner Andreas Albert and the Philharmonia Hungarica's recording of Joachim Raff's Symphony No. 7 in B flat major, "In den Alpen," Op. 201, and Jubelouverture, Op. 103.

An accomplished pianist and a gifted composer, Goetz died of tuberculosis at 36, leaving behind a wife and daughter -- and a reputation that soon sank into oblivion along with his two operas, two symphonies, two piano concertos plus numerous other ...

Hats off to these musicians, because they deliver the score with abundant ...
