Sibelius, J.

Description:

The second collection of orchestral works by Moravian composer Paul (Pavel) Vranitsky, who moved to Vienna at the age of 20 to pursue his career. He was regarded as one of the most important symphonic composers of the late 1970s in Vienna. This third collection includes two symphonies and two opera overtures. The Symphony in C major, published in 1798, is the first recording of an extended orchestral version that includes trumpet and timpanone (large timpani) added for a private concert of Ferdinand III in Tuscany. The symphony contains adaptations from past stage music. The two overtures are both highly enjoyable works that reflect Vranitsky's skill as a composer of theater music. Naxos Japan
