Love this symphony; thanks for posting! Great performance, too. Suk’s early style is so tuneful and uplifting, showing influence from his teacher Dvorak but still displaying an individual voice. In some ways, I regret that his music became much darker and more complex after the deaths of Dvorak and his wife, but one can’t deny that he produced some highly personal music later in life. His 1st Symphony is a highly endearing work that has some tunes that would’ve made Dvorak envious (e.g. the main theme of the scherzo), and the noble slow movement contains no little depth of feeling.
Thanks Bartje. Heard of Suk, but not acquainted with his music. I have so many composers soundworlds in my head, I tend judge lesser known composers by them. So I must listen with an open mind.
30:10 and again 36:35 - adopted ten years later by Rachmaninoff in his 3rd Piano Concerto??? Anyway, great music, great performance, thank you for uploading!
It's fine music. The man had a great idea for orchestral colours. It must have been difficult for composers to find their "voice" in a musically diverse world as in the late 19th C.
Composers write music the way they want it. Most were never concerned with finding their own "voice". You got performed or not, your operas are popular or not, that counted and still counts. Having your own "voice' was a given for that.

Delightful!
Wasn't expecting that cool chord at 14:40
This is great. I do not know this one well, I'm better acquainted with No. 2 "Azrael".
