Leopold Koželuch Symphony in G Minor, , No.3, P. I:5 I. Allegro 00:00 II. Adagio 07:01 III. Presto 12:38 Orchestra: London Mozart Players Matthias Bamert, Conductor Koželuch: Symphonies ℗ Chandos Records Released on: 1999-01-01 The key of G minor produced a handful of remarkable symphonies in the second half of the eighteenth century, at least partly under the influence of the preromantic Sturm und Drang (Storm and Stress) movement in German literature: by Haydn, J.C. Bach (Op. 6 No. 6, 1770), two by J.B. Vanhal, Mozart (No. 25 and No. 40) and, yes, Kozeluch (1787) — his only one in a minor key. It has no minuet, and in the outer movements the two horns are crooked in G and B flat, in order to provide wider harmonic scope. (from Album notes by Robin Golding)
