J apprecie enormement ces compositeurs tcheques, "bohemiens" du 18e siecle...Leur musique est vraiment joyeuse, pleine de vie et tres riche musicalement parlant. La encore je ne cesse de poser la question, "pourquoi nous ne faisons rien ou presque rien pour les faire connaitre et pourquoi en europe occidentale n entendons nous jamais a la radio ou lors des concerts ces compositeurs ?...
+harpsichordVal ... unfortunately it is a dreary, wet & cold day ... so I have to rely on the sunshine in my heart :o) your beautiful music surely helps with that. hugs, karin
+mmbmbmbmb here in London "dreary wet days" are almost a thing of the past. During an entire year it rains on maybe a dozen or so days. When it does it is short sharp downfalls, very heavy very brief. A day when it rains all day is almost unheard of. I miss it personally
He did a lot of concerto music. So your average concert orchestra and concert band isn't doing too much of symphony in the first place. So you're left with symphony orchestra's who these days are either hobbyists, youth orchestras, or career professionals. The hobbyists/youth have to balance between stuff the audience may likely be used to or recognise, and a safe mixture of possibly niche music the conductor and/or director likes or wants to perform. Some music is also not easy on the ear, so is only really enjoyable to musicians you can listen between the lines (great example, Barry's Piano quartet). The career symphony orchestras tend to work pretty much for profit. So they play what various producers and/or labels ask of them, along with whatever other performances similar to the hobbyists. Stage performances tend not to be recorded however. With some exceptions. Hence why it's almost impossible for me to find some of the Cor Anglais works I'm just dying to listen to, or need to listen to before rehearsals xD over 3 years late and probably TMI, your welcome(!)
