Vítězslav Novák - Autumn Symphony, mvt. 1 (pt. 1/2)

That's good to hear. If I may ask, who are the performers and conductor and is it a stereo recording? Even a dated mono recording would be fabulous for its historical authenticity.

@JP250506 It's a live recording from the concert in Prague in 2008 where I was. Prague Symphony Orch. FOK, conductor Ondřej Kukal, soprano Alena Hellerová, baritone Roman Janál. It's the only recording I've heard.

Wow! This is indeed a rarity. Was this recording taken off a CD or Czech FM radio broadcast recording? It would be truly exquisite if you possess a recording of Novak's lesser known cantata - unlike the better known Storm (Boure) - The Spectre's Bride (Svatebni Kosile) op.48. If so, it would be great if you could post it as well.

@JP250506 I'm afraid this isn't issued on CD. I've got also Spectre's Bride (both recorded from Czech radio).
