Czerny – Symphony No. 2 op. 781 ‘Grande Symphony’
Czerny – Symphony No. 6 G minor (world premiere recording)
     ‘delightful… marvelously colorful… very memorable… you probably will be shocked at just how good the whole thing is… finely made music… these ebullient, fizzy, well-engineered performances by the clearly energized Kaiserslautern orchestra under Grzegorz Nowak make the best possible case for Czerny.’ Classics Today  
     ‘Grzegorz Nowak is that rarity, a Czerny specialist, and it shows. The music has colour, style, and verve in
his hands… his orchestra plays with panache and beauty of tone.’ Amazon.com
    
« une révélation…Le SWR rundfunkorchester Kaiserlautern déploie mille accents pour exprimer la richesse des couleurs, la vitalité rythmique avec d’autant plus d’efficacité que la baguette du chef Grzegorz Nowak se montre analytique et nerveuse.…Le compositeur pouvait-il trouver meilleurs interprètes ? Le souci des respirations, cette attention aux moindres accents explore la partition avec une très grande inventivité mais aussi une rare probité. Reconnaissons dans le geste et l’approche globale, une sensibilité du détail qui ne dilue jamais ni le sens de la progression ni la ligne de tension. » Classique News
     « Il n'y a ici aucun temps mort, juste un métier affirmé soutenant une vraie teneur mélodique… Le chef Grzegorz Nowak avait été celui de la "première mondiale" de la partition… Il dirige ici son orchestre de Kaiserslautern, qui s'acquitte fort bien de sa tâche de nous rendre dans les meilleures conditions ces très belles symphonies romantiques oubliées et qui valaient d'être jouées. » Classics Today France
