The Bohemian composer Paul Wranitzky was admired by Haydn, Mozart (his Masonic lodge brother), and Beethoven (who requested him as conductor of his Symphony No. 1 in C major, Op. 21). He disappeared from the repertory in the 19th century, although the critic Fétis said that for him this was "a source of astonishment." The Czech Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra Pardubice and conductor Marek Štilec have been excavating his music, and it testifies to the continuing appetite for music of the Classical era that several of their Wranitzky releases, including this one in the summer of 2023, have hit classical best-seller charts. Wranitzky was a popular opera composer in his day, and the instrumental excerpts performed here give the flavor of his brilliant style in the genre, often oriented toward exoticism. The pieces from Achmet und Zenide are full of the so-called Janissary element cultivated by Mozart in, among other works, the Piano Sonata in A major, K. 331, while the second-act overture to Die Spanier in Peru features a conquistador battle scene. Wranitzky's skill as a melodist is on display at several junctures in the music from Jolantha, Königin von Jerusalem. The understated work of the orchestra lets the music speak for itself, which is desirable, and though seemingly specialized, this release is listenable for anyone.
