I'm sorry but I couldn't find this post in the download section

Thank you, Atsushi, for the Ostrcil Suite, op.2.....particularly since I had, for some strange reason, omitted it from my Ostrcil catalogue and your upload made it possible for me to correct that mistake :)

[Dundonnell]

Ah!  Thanks!  How that happened I cannot imagine! 
Oh!  I see!
Now it's the right one.
(Pretty exciting ending on this one!)

So, do we have the Kubicka Symphony AND the Kucera Symphonic Poem ??? ???

I am totally confused. I seem to have downloaded two separate works but am only now trying to catalogue them. I have no details for the Kubicka.

[MVS]

Well, you do, but probably no one else.  ;D
Actually I forgot to post the information on the Kubicka symphony, but I just did. 
Sorry about the confusion! 

[Dundonnell]

Thanks very much :)

I downloaded the Kubicka just to make sure that I got it the first time and....yes, I had ;D ;D

Hello everybody,

I posted by accident three compositions in the Reposts UC.
These works were never posted there.

They are new to both fora.

Sorry  Elroel

[Elroel]

I couldn't live with it. So I changed Jirko at all to the right section: downloads and removed them from the UC reposts.

Many thanks for those downloads! For the record, sadly, none of those three composers is living any more: Ivan Jirko passed away in 1978, Jiří Válek in 2005, Štěpán Lucký in 2006.

[Elroel]

I know they were passed away. I took the dates from the records and didn't look in my database.
I corrected my post.

There are more compositions from that area in the pipeline.
Thay are not yet digitized. Will come soon.

Thanks for your remarks.

A few words about the three most recent Czech posts, which may either encourage people or serve as a warning:

"In the late 1950s Piňos, with his colleagues Ištvan and Kohoutek, thoroughly applied principles taken from the 20th-century classics. At first they were influenced by Bartók and, in part, Prokofiev, Honegger and Janáček; in the 1960s they drew increasingly on the Second Viennese School and the postwar avant garde. Piňos’s detailed study of 12-note serialism, and his contact with aleatory writing and other new developments at the Darmstadt summer courses of 1965 and 1966, contributed greatly to the formation of his technique." (Grove)

Thank you, MVS, for your recent Czech uploads, especially the Palenicek :)! While I'm here, I might as well thank Sydney for his recent Czech uploads as well, even though the music he uploaded is rather "advanced" for my taste :).

[kyjo]

Thank you very much, Sydney, for your uploads of the music of Sommer and Ostrcil :)! Both are quite wonderful composers :).

[Dundonnell]

Thanks very much indeed for the unexpected delight of the Havelka Symphony :) What a splendid work by another composer completely new to me :)

[kyjo]

I would like to echo Colin's thanks for the Havelka symphony (a composer who was new to me as well). The Macha Violin Concerto is also much appreciated :). Thanks once again, Sydney!

Svatopluk Havelka (1925 to 2009) - his First Symphony [1955]

Thank you so much for this upload! This performance is with the Prague Radio Symphony [FOK] Orchestra conducted by Jindrich Rohan, and appears to be the same as the old Supraphon LP. I've enjoyed that disc for a number of years, and the timings seem to match up.

However, this broadcast is in far, far better sound, and without all the surface noise of the old LP, so I very much appreciate the opportunity to hear this fine work in a cleaner, clearer recording!
