Description
A contemporary of Mozart, around 1800, the Moravian Paul Wranitzky was one of the most influential and popular composers in Vienna. An uncommonly productive composer, his works were known throughout Europe and his singspiel 'Oberon, King of the Elves' is credited with being the first important 'ghost opera'. Wranitzky's 'Peace' Symphony, 'La Grande Sinfonie caract?®ristique pour la paix avec la Republique Fran?ºaise' Op. 31 features a lavish spread of tone colours, battle painting and recurring march citations, creating an atmosphere of high suspense. The Symphony Op. 52, in contrast, has more of a bright and carefree character and a much more tightly woven motivic fabric. Howard Griffiths here conducts the NDR Radiophilharmonie: \Howard Griffiths's conducting is arguably more cogent than that of either Groves or Marriner (Gramophone)""
