It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: Anyone have any Wilhelm Stenhammer discs to recommend?

I am a major Stenhammar fan. You can't go wrong with the recordings on the BIS label. There is a 4 CD boxed set that contains the major symphonic works in very good performances and sound. I also note that most of the 4-CD set has been reissued on the Brilliant label as a 3-CD set for the price of one CD (a great bargain). The Brilliant set doesn't include the Serenade and several other, small pieces that are on the BIS set.

Of more recent vintage on BIS SACD's are the string quartets - these are excellent works in terrific performances (the best around, IMO, and I've heard/have the alternatives on disc) and in great sound. Quartets 3-6 (plus an unpublished quartet that came between Nos. 3 and 4) are already released and Nos. 1 & 2 are about to be released. Great music!
