Info zu MILOSLAV KABELÁČ: Symphony No. 2 · Overtures

Miloslav Kabeláč zählt zu den bedeutendsten tschechischen Komponisten des 20. Jahrhunderts. Neben Antonín Dvořák und Bohuslav Martinů gilt er als einer der größten tschechischen Symphoniker, und sein Werk stellt einen Meilenstein des tschechischen Musikerbes dar. Sein Schaffen umfasst fast alle Musikgenres mit Ausnahme der Oper, doch im Mittelpunkt stehen acht Symphonien, jede mit einer einzigartigen Orchestrierung. Mit dem tschechischen Dirigenten Jakub Hrůša hatte das ORF Radio-Sinfonieorchester einen willkommenen Experten für diese Aufnahme, da er die reich orchestrierten Partituren dieser noch immer unterschätzten Musik und dieses Komponisten sorgfältig untersucht.
