Title: JAN VACLAV LEFT US TOO SOON
Product review: Odd that there isn't an entry for Vorisek in the Music Lovers Encyclopedia. JAN VACLAV HUGO VORICEK (1791-1825) was a significant composer. He influenced his friend Schubert and won the approval of Beethoven, who was his chief influence. Vorisek's Symphony in D (lamentably his only symphony) is his most poular work. But it is his MASS IN B FLAT that I wish to bring to your notice. I don't know if a mass is supposed to be enjoyable. Perhaps "satisfying" is the better word. Enjoy the Symphony, but pay special attention to the sumptuous and satifying canonical work.Would that Vorisek had not contracted TB and lived to give us more works on a grand scale. These two will suffice to keep his memory alive. The performances are equally satisfying.
