Not the most distinguished in the series
28 Nov 2008
Format:Audio CD
The 9th and 10th symphonies by the Slovak composer Alexander Moyzes (1906-1984) represent a new direction from the slightly grey late-romanticism of the earlier series, even if it is - in virtue of the slightly choppy style based on melodic cells rather than actual themes and the orchestrations - recognizably by the same composer.
The ninth is a dark almost Shostakovichian piece with agitated almost unsettling second movement. This is a rather complicated work and is starkly contrasted to the more straightforwardly structured and lyrical tenth. The music, in both works, is eclectic, yet Moyzes do have a recognizably individual voice nevertheless.
Recommended for the adventureous, but you might wish to consider starting your Moyzes survey with one of the earlier issues (the 5th and 6th or 7th and 8th). Performances are more than serviceable, but not very distinct, and the sound is again a little boxy and rough.
