¡Franz Krommer: Symphony No.4, No.5 & No.7
¡Howard Griffiths (conductor), Radio Svizzera Italiana Orchestra
Description
[Machine Translation] Franz Krommer (Hungarian name: Franti ek Krama ) was born in Bohemia in 1759, worked in Hungary, served for a time at the court in Vienna, but returned to Hungary and was appointed director of the church music at Pecs Cathedral for 20 years. In his later years, he became director of the theater in Vienna, and in 1818 he was awarded the title of composer to the imperial household. Despite such fame, his works were overshadowed by Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven, and even his existence itself was forgotten. Many people may have rediscovered the appeal of Kronmer's works in the first symphony cycle conducted by Griffiths. The second set includes three of Cronmer's most successful symphonies: the dramatic No. 4, the festive No. 5, and the equally dramatic No. 7. All are highly listenable works full of fresh charm.
