Finally a commercial recording of the 7th
13 April 2004
Format:Audio CD
I first heard Moyzes 7th Symphony in a radio broadcast many years ago. I have always wondered why this work is not better known. This is a neo-romantic work of great beauty and this recording would seem to be definitive. If you only get one disc of this composer's music make it this one.

Fine music, decently performed
28 Nov 2008
Format:Audio CD
This, the fourth release in Marco Polo's survey of the twelve symphonies of Slovak composer Alexander Moyzes (1906-1984) illustrates the transition between the earlier late-romantic composer and the darker and more modern voice of the later Moyzes.
The 7th symphony is picturesque and influenced by Kodaly and Novak, a nicely atmospheric work with a very fine slow movement (which penetrates deeper than the other movements do) and a perhaps slightly let-down and messy finale. The 8th, on the other hand, was written in response to the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia and is turbulent, episodic and bleak.
The nice illustration of Moyzes' stylistic transition makes this perhaps the most natural place to start the investigation of Moyzes' music. The 7th is possibly one of his best works. The performances are more than serviceable, the sound a little too bright and somewhat boxy.
