Antonio Salieri Symphony in D 'Il giorno onomastico' (2/2)

Most so called symphonies of Salieri are in fact arrangements of his opera overtures. This one is maybe the only 'real' symphony actually written as that. It dates from 1775. The definite highlight is the last movement, a brilliant rondo with a mysterious coda.
The London Mozart Players perform, conducted by Matthias Bamert.

A lot of musicians who were huge names in Beethoven's day performed in the orchestra for the premiere of Beethoven's 7th symphony, but even most classical fans would be hard-pressed to name or recognize a single work by Meyerbeer or Salieri. Meditation on the ephemeral nature of renown and on the power of time of to bury human effort.

Wow........ his style is so ALIVE !! and full of great lust while also a tad of humor.

I would say this also has excellent counterpoint and is very flowing. Not at all disjointed like some of Schubets works.

This man should be listed as one of the great composers. I have a book of great composers and they list well over 100 of the best. He is not even it it. Shame and wrong!!

Cherubini, Clementi and Salieri, three huge italian composers totally understimated.

I suggest to listen to Clementi's symphonies,

They are simply beautiful and incredibly advanced!

For a composer with a rather conservative style, the multiple conclusions show a real sense of humor. This was the first piece from Salieri I had ever heard played. I TAPED..yes TAPED the 'minuet and finale' from the radio (1986 or 87) as a boy. I have been slowly expanding my Salieri collection ever since. In this decade there has been a revival of his music. My guess is it will continue, as honor will be brought to one of the masters of the classical era.
