The range of the Bohemian – and to a lesser extent Moravian – musical diaspora can be very adequately gauged from the composers in this survey. Some underwent name-changing, Germanicising being the most opportune thing to do if seeking preferment in a ducal court, not least as regards pronunciation. In the first volume therefore we find Jiří Antonín Benda becoming Georg Anton and Jan Křitetel Vaňhal turning into Johann Baptist Vanhal, even Wanhal. And so on.
Benda served successively in Potsdam and Gotha and his Sinfonia dates from his days as Kapellmeister to Duke Friedrich III of Saxe-Gotha. The forces were relatively modest – ten strings, four winds and harpsichord – and the writing robust, elegant and broadly conventional. Josef Bárta was born in Prague and was active in Vienna in the 1770s. His own Sinfonia is a good example of Sturm und Drang in compressed form. Vivacious and rather gripping it makes a more intense impression than Benda’s opus, though admittedly it’s written on a broader canvas.
F. X. Richter, the senior composer in this volume contributes a keyboard – here harpsichord – concerto. If he’s known for any of his concertos it’s that for the trumpet, though he’s probably even better known for Mozart’s naughty comments on Richter’s outrageous consumption of alcohol. The keyboard work has a too-long first movement and a certain garrulous professionalism. Its slow movement, a so-called Pastorale Cantabile, sounds rather stiff backed for such a sympathetic instruction.
Stamic studied in Prague but is best known for his time in Mannheim. He picks up the pastoral theme in writing a Sinfonia Pastorale, published shortly after his premature death in 1757. This is an impressive work, around eleven minutes in length and cast in four movements. Well sprung and lively we find Stamic writing discreetly and imaginatively for horns; the Czech Chamber Philharmonic under Vojtĕch Spurný does well by the swells and dynamic contrasts in the music. Vaňhal’s Sinfonia is fluent and well laid out but rather derivative. The pomposo gait of the Minuet is probably its high point. I’m not sure but I suspect that this is the Symphony that should properly be classified Bryan Em1 and conjecturally dated to c.1770. The notes have it as c.1765. –Jonathan Woolf
