AlexanderMOYZES

(1906–1984)

Along with Suchoň and Cikker, Alexander Moyzes was one of the leading Slovak composers of his generation. His compositional style was inspired by the folk music and beautiful landscapes of his native land, but also took account of contemporary trends in European music after the First World War. These early symphonies, infused with Moyzes’ masterful orchestration and control of counterpoint, signify a new period in 20th-century Slovak music.

Symphony No. 1 in D major, Op. 31 (1929/37) 41:031 Allegro moderato 14:152 Adagio 10:283 Scherzo 5:194 Finale: Adagio – Allegro con brio 11:01

Symphony No. 2 in A minor, Op. 16 (1932/41) 36:44 5 Allegro impetuoso 16:156 Finale, quasi uni fantasia: Allegro marcato 20:29
