Czerny - Symphonies 2 & 6

Classics Today France 10/10.

Despite his amazingly prolific output, it is fair to say that Czerny evidently did not aim to be »original« at all. His compositional work method produced music going back and forth stylistically between Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann, Mendelssohn, and other contemporaries with amazing flexibility and lack of self-consciousness. It is this very stylistic flexibility that gives these two symphonies their unique charm and justify resquing the amazing Czerny’s “serious” concert music for the long neglect it has suffered for so many years.
