"Behind this release is brilliant archival work by John D. Wilson at the University of Vienna, who demonstrated by paper analysis that Reicha wrote several extremely ambitious orchestral works while he was still at Bonn, where he played in the orchestra with Beethoven (they were lifelong frenemies in a sense). The D Major symphony has been recorded before--except not really! The first movement is the same as recorded by the Prague Chamber Orchestra several decades ago, but the rest of the movements are completely different. Anyway, if you're curious who else was thinking, "where can music go after the genius of Haydn and Mozart?" alongside Beethoven, the first answer is Anton Reicha. Also on the album are a D Major overture with a strange long introduction followed by a sonata form movement in 5/8 tempo, which Reicha said was the first substantial piece ever composed in that tempo. This was recorded by the Beethoven Orchester Bonn, with Wilson's work also an inspiration for that album, but the more the better!" (Reddit.com)
