A symphony only recently discovered. Classical music still has its wonderful; surprises. Many thanks for this version.

Eduardo Poblete de Chile, que bella sinfonía, y que gran director, lo encontré por casualidad. Una lastima que esté compositor falleciera tan joven, considero que está sinfonía es, y mantiene la tradición en la forma de sinfonías clásicas, bellísima...

Super vielen Dank

I programmed this lovely symphony for a tour of Sweden in the 1990s. We were asked NOT to take Mozart, Beethoven or Schubert. The orchestra loved discovering something a bit different.

Thank you very much for this stunning symphony!

Bravo Wdrso y Goebel!!!!!!

[@ivogianfranco1633]

Magnificent symphony! Had it been written by Beethoven or Schubert, it would have been performed much more frequently for sure. Such a pity that Vorisek died so young.

[@crisscrossiceland7138]

the third movement is so Schubertian

[@sergioazevedo7390]

@@crisscrossiceland7138 Or Schubert is so Vorisek :) He was born early and died early than Schubert :)

Bella pieza del periodo preromantico en una acertada interpretación.

It is not recently discovered. I have played it as a cellist in my youth orchestra several times in the 90ies, and it was known as the most important czech symphony before Dvorak (besides the much later Václav Jindřich Veit, as we may add today, who is REALLY re-discovered only recently) to everybody interested in Czech music. It was even recorded by the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen under Thomas Hengelbrock for deutsche harmonia mundi, as well as by the Czech conductor Petr Altrichter with the SWF orchestra for the label arte nova in the 90ies.
