JULY 2026 NEW ON NAXOS

Franz KROMMER (1759–1831) Symphonies Nos. 1 and 2 Concertino for Flute, Oboe and Violin * Klára Mach Jasenčáková, Flute * Vojtěch Podroužek, Oboe * Markéta Čepická, Violin * Czech Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra Pardubice Marek Štilec Franz Krommer served the Habsburg emperors as court composer in Vienna, having succeeded his Czech compatriot, Leopold Koželuch. He excelled in a vast range of music, notably the string quartet and music for winds, but he also wrote eight published symphonies and a sequence of concertos. In the recordings heard here conductor Marek Štilec uses corrected parts based on archival records. Both the First and Second Symphonies are fulsome and vigorous with graceful trios and bustling energy, revealing an increasingly bold and adventurous language. The attractive Concertino is in effect a divertimento full of shifting moods. Key features: • With the Czech Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra Pardubice , Marek Štilec recorded for Naxos cycles of music by Wrantizky (eight volumes) and Leopold Koželuch. • ‘Wranitzky’s highly individual sound world is extremely distinctive, and this welcome disc demonstrates not only Wranitzky’s compositional diversity but a penchant for careful symphonic strategies. The Czech Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra Pardubice perform confidently under the baton of Marek Štilec’ ( Classical CD Choice on 8.574454).
