By request, here is an entertaining record of music by the Danish "Johann Strauss," Hans Christian Lumbye. Played which zest and, with as much authenticity as you can imagine, the CopenhagenTivoli Concert Hall Orchestra under Svend Christian Felumb make a great case for the nearly forgotten Lumbye. Tuneful marches, elegant waltzes, dynamic polkas, why don't we hear more of Lumbye's music on a regular basis?
I have added, as a filler, Carl Nielsen's very early "Little Suite" played by the Tivoli Orchestra and conducted by Hungarian violinist/conductor Carl (Karoly) Garaguly. Garaguly was active for many years in the Scandinavian countries, presumably fleeing his own country during the communist years. He is noted for his advocacy of Nielsen and Gade.
These are monaural recordings, from Vox, with mid 60's recording dates, I would guess. FLAC's.
