Czech-born Paul Wranitzky, a contemporary of Mozart, was the most important symphonist in Vienna at the turn of the 18th century. To mark the ascension to the throne of Franz II in 1792, Wranitzky wrote the grand Symphony in C major, a work of regal quality and festive exuberance. Wranitzky's mature symphonic style is on display in the Symphony in B flat major, with its expanded orchestral forces, contrasting textures and broad musical invention. Overtures from two operas offer a sampling of Wranitzky's dramatic writing for the stage.
"This music is from the same style school as the better-known late symphonies of Mozart and the two early ones of Beethoven. The playing from Pardubice is alert and downily buoyant. The recordings do no injustice to, and surely enhance, this music by an unfamiliar composer." MusicWeb
"The symphonies and orchestral works of late 18th- and early 19-century composers seem to be Štilec's specialty. In fact, the present disc is announced as Volume 1 of Vranický's orchestral works. I liked Štilec's Beck symphonies...For the Koželuch symphonies, I found Štilec and the Czech Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra Pardubice bright, alert, buoyant, and stylish. I would have to say ditto for these symphonies and overtures by Vranický." Fanfare
