Moyzes - Sym No 9 - L Slovak, Slovak RSO (1995) [Philidor; FLAC]

The Serbian composer Alexander Moyzes was a student of Vitezslav Novak, and professor of composition at the Bratislava Music Academy. His orchestral works fall deceptively easily on the ear: late Romanticism and Impressionism, but not so much themes and thematic development as thematic cells that appear and disappear seemingly without order, tempos and moods apparently shifting at will.

Of the composer's Ninth Symphony of 1970/1 the liner notes writer states, " 'It is no exaggeration to consider the symphony a musical description of the tragedy and hopeless situation of a violated country." Harsh anger, despair, and a kind of painful lyricism one associates with the symphones and quartets of Vainberg make up the work's musical landscape.
