Czech Post-Romantic Symphonies

[vandermolen]

We need a new recording (or Supraphon reissue) of the fine 'Sinfonia Pacis' (Symphony No 2) by Viktor Kalabis (1961).

Each of the symphonies by Kalabis is very fine I have them all...except for No.1

Kalabis was, in my opinion, one of the best Czech composers of his post-Martinu generation.

While we might all agree, Kalabis clearly belongs to a later generation than we have in mind here...

My mistake, apologies (we still need the Kalabis though  )

That's fine. It's just that we need to keep threads on track if at all possible. After all, there's always the possibility of starting another one...

I have gradually put together a large collection of scores of piano music by these composers and their contemporaries (too numerous to list now, but Axman, Harasta, Vycpalek and others spring to mind) which I will record some of one day. Btw, I was in the Janacek Museum in Brno last week and saw a photo of Janacek and Chlubna.
