Symphony - 'Matka Naděje' or 'Mother Hope'
Zdeněk Košler
Czech Philharmonic
Supraphon
Left field discovery while looking for Novak's, 'The Storm' on Spotify (which doesn't seem to be available for streaming).
Can't find much on Jirásek at all, on t'internet. I like this symphony very much, however. Atmospheric, dramatic, thoughtful, punctuated with contemplative passages that build and drop tension, loud and strident brass and percussion... niiiice....
Quote from: prémont on Today at 10:58:04 AMFor some unknown reason Todd used Backhaus' stereo recording for comparison. The earlier mono recording is generally more successful.
I agree that Sonoda is good and well may be among my top ten cycles too. The many excellent cycles available are difficult to rank precisely. But Backhaus' mono is in my top two, Kempff's mono cycle being the other one.
If you read Todd's evaluations closely it's obvious that he first and foremost is led by his taste, like all of us.
