Miloslav Kabelác ranks among the most significant Czech composers of the 20th century. Alongside Antonín Dvorák and Bohuslav Martinu, he is recognized as one of the greatest Czech symphonists, and his work represents a cornerstone of Czech musical heritage. His work encompasses nearly all musical genres except opera, but at its core are eight symphonies, each with a unique orchestration. With the Czech conductor Jakub Hruša, the ORF Radio Symphony Orchestra had a welcome expert for this recording, as he examines carefully these richly orchestrated scores of this still underrated music and composer.
