Volume 2 now, a mixed bag, 4 Mar 2001
By Charles Voogd - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Symphonies 3 and 4 (Slovak Rso/Slovak) (Audio CD)
I eagerly anticipated this release because I liked the Symphony #1 and 2 coupling so good.This one isn't as good as the first one because of the very contrasting subject matter. Symphony #3 is a reworked wind quintet and wants to be jolly all the time. If I were the composer I'd rather call this a suite or a sinfonietta. The recording is a little dull, like the music.
Everything goes well in the 4th Symphony which is altogether a more enterprising and interesting affair. It's not at all daring or new music, it fits nicely in the Central European tradition. But nothing is wrong with that and you can hear very many influences on this one.
The recording is better and the conductor - although a very devoted Moyzes follower - makes things flow better and convinces the orchestra that it is a convincing piece of music.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Intereting but not very distinguished, 28 Nov 2008
By G.D. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Symphonies 3 and 4 (Slovak Rso/Slovak) (Audio CD)
The second issue in the chronological survey of the 12 symphonies of Alexander Moyzes (1906-1984) gives us, well, nr. 3 and 4, again in more than serviceable performances from Ladislav Slovák and the Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra.
The five-movemented third (based on a wind quintet) is a charming work, but perhaps not very distinctive. The fourth is on another level of inspiration altogether, bring gravity and even a sense of urgency (though the finale is, as in many of Moyzes' symphonies, a let-down).
Sound quality is not the best, it is in general slightly boxy, and it seems that the technicians even change settings in midwork at some points. Still, this is a worthwhile release.
