Matthaus Nagiller Symphony in C minor (1845)

[terry martyn]

I have now played through this Symphony three times and I whistled along to it, with my cockatiel also responding. But I didn´t find it a particularly individual work. And I am surprised at its dating, as I would have put it some fifteen years further.
If I had been listening to it blind, I would have said it was a newly discovered Weber Symphony. So,nice enough, if derivative
Curiously,it seems to appear twice on CDs issued by the Landesmuseen.  I have it on No 58 (coupled with his Festmesse, which passed me by) and that is still in stock. A more rewarding coupling is the CD No 51, as the more individual (but less Romantic) Symphony of Gansbacher is there as well, but that CD seems to be found now only in the deeper recesses of the warehouse
