The Dundonell's points are more than fair IMO. Each has their own opinions about anything and that is respectable, but I did feel certain desdain from the user Greg K towards the aforementioned music. Nowadays record labels release much stuff I consider not particularly substantial, but somehow it allows to have a more complete vision of the composer or the circumstamces it was composed, and it's eventually good for completists (like me), and it's even much better than recording 1000+ the Mozart's symphonies or the Chopin's Nocturnes, etc. Perhaps there could be some political issue that could bother to some people on mentioning these works. If I remember correctly, one of the Novák's symphonies was like a homage to Stalin or something like that. If that were true, I didn't care for it. I don't like to link music with politics. There will be listeners who won't be able to stand that. Anyway, when tastes are concerned, the possibilities are as many as people exist.

All in all, I would be one of the first buyers if these symphonies were recorded, no matter if I have bad musical tastes or not  ;D
