Description:

Moravian composer Paul (Pavel) Vranitsky was born in Moravia. He studied music and theology in his hometown, but moved to Vienna in search of opportunities, and in 1783, he was trained by Joseph Martin Krauss, who was then the music director of the royal court of Sweden, and the following year became the music director of the Esterhazy court. After Mozart's death, his widow Constanze helped her late husband's works to be published. He was also a valued guest at the Viennese court, especially Maria Theresa, who trusted him so much that she composed a brilliant symphony for the coronation of her grandson, Franz II. This album includes that "Coronation Symphony" (tracks 2-5), a symphony in B-flat major published in 1798, and two operatic overtures and serenatas. Enjoy the flowing melodies, colored by the skillful orchestration, that the audiences of the time were passionate about. Naxos Japan
