Jiři Ignác Linek opens the final volume with his Sinfonia Pastoralis. Born in Bakov near Prague he succeeded his father as choirmaster in his hometown. Though he followed the trajectory of most Bohemians of studies in Prague he doesn’t seem to have travelled much and certainly didn’t take appointments in estates beyond Bohemia. Probably intended for Christmas his symphony is enjoyable and well characterised, and short. The drone effects in the Adagio hint at the kind of folkloric tints that his more cosmopolitan Bohemian and Moravian contemporaries don’t pursue in their own symphonies and they’re all the more effective for it.
Leopold Kozeluh is a known quantity these days with his piano concertos and other works taking their place on disc and in some concert halls. His 1787 Symphony in G minor, which predated Mozart’s own by a year, is a concise three-movement affair. It is in fact as Mozartian as Vranický’s was Haydnesque. The clever partition of wind lines in the slow movement is a stand out feature, as is the well-upholstered bass line pointing, and the layering of winds over the string cantilena. His finale is peppered with confident Mannheim crescendos.
František Xaver Brixi returns with his C major Symphony of 1760. It bridges the period post-baroque and pre-classical with a beguiling eloquence. Buoyant, yes, but with a vocalised, almost operatic freedom and lyricism in the slow movement. Finally we have the E flat major Symphony of Antonín Rejcha (or later Antoine Reicha), and one of the last of these works to be written, in 1800. After his meetings with his contemporary Beethoven in Bonn he studied in Vienna but eventually gravitated to Paris. His list of pupils is long and prestigious and starts with Berlioz, Gounod, Liszt and Franck and moves on from there. His Symphony seems to owe most to Haydn though there are also intimations of his friendship with Beethoven. He writes athletically for flutes, and warmly for strings. His deft fugal passage in the slow movement is unusual enough to provoke comment. It was absolutely no surprise for me to learn, from another source, that his fugal mastery made a huge impression on the writing of both Berlioz and Liszt. One can gauge his total command of fugal procedure from even so small an example. His Allegro is also gently witty.–Jonathan Woolf
