Hot on the heels of yesterday's Foerster upload, here's a more recent Czech composer in a very different style -- basically neoclassical, but with a strong Czech flavor and vivid pathos. The Second Symphony is my favorite, and for me one of the great Czech symphonies of the 20th century. Though I prefer Ančerl's recording (but can't post it here since it's available on CD) this one is still excellent.
Iša Krejčí (1904-1968)
Symphony No. 1 in D (1955)
Lento -- Allegro feroce
Scherzo: Allegro possibile
Allegretto moderato
Allegro vivo
Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra
Miloš Konvalinka, conductor
Symphony No. 2 in C-sharp minor (1957)
Molto allegro
Scherzino: Allegro molto quasi presto
Allegro moderato
Allegro molto
Czech Radio Symphony Orchestra
Miloš Konvalinka, conductor
Symphony No. 3 in C (1963)
Allegro
Scherzino: Presto prestissimo
Aria: Allegretto moderato
Molto allegro
Symphony No. 4 (1966)
Lento (non troppo) --
Moderato (non troppo lento) --
Allegretto vivace --
Andante (Tema con variazioni)
Moravian Philharmonic Orchestra
Jaromír Nohejl, conductor
from Czech Panton LPs, never reissued on CD

Great, thanks Maris! It's repertoire about which (until now) I knew the square root of zero...  ;) |
