Description: What is a disc of Classical symphonies doing as a featured item? Well, it’s December and there’s nothing else to choose from. As the notes put it, the symphonies “are notable for mellifluous themes, sophisticated structures and, at times, a lyricism that seems to foreshadow the youthful works of Schubert. This unique recording draws on the original sources and corrects a number of mistakes encountered in previously published versions.” Meatier stuff for January, we hope. Czech Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra Pardubice; Marek Štilek.
