Jaroslav Krček - his Third Symphony, scored for orchestra, chorus and narrator (speaking voice) (1990):

    http://www.mediafire.com/?5s3x94q4t850d2g

From a wireless broadcast of a public concert. Duration sixty-six minutes. Narrator Radovan Lukavský, with the Pavel Kühn choir and the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Jiří Bělohlávek. As far as I can make out the texts are the work of Comenius and Barborka; and the following motto - which I will not attempt to translate - appears on the title page of the symphony:

Půjduť a podívám se, co pak ten svět jest
Aj, to kvaltování jsou ustavičná
Ach, Bože, smiluj se nade mnou bídným
Navrať se do domu srdce svého.

I will try to find out more about what it is all about. Nevertheless it is likely that this long symphony will remain forever unsung outside the Czech republic, simply because the narrator has so much to do. The only hope for it I suppose is that some one might produce a translation of the whole. The comparison with Vaughan-Williams's Sea Symphony is instructive - there the text is treated much more musically.

[Elroel]

The symphony is/was available since 1996, on Supraphon SU 3195-2931
The work is subtitles 'Jan Amos' and based on Jan Amos Comenius, who lived from 1592 until 1670, born in Moravia, died in Amsterdam.
The text on the booklet is in Czech, but there is summary in English. I'll try to upload the summary shortly.
