This 1990 recording of his C minor and D major symphonies proves it. The power of the themes, the lyricism of the melodies, the strength of the logic, the depth of the invention, and the elegance of the execution are as masterful as the best works in the genre at the time. Although conductor Bohumil Gregor is better known for his work in later repertoire, he presents a persuasive portrait of Vranický as a great composer. The Dvorák Chamber Orchestra performs with easy virtuosity and complete commitment. Supraphon's early digital sound is vivid but harsh at the climaxes.
