Donna Diana Overture - Emil Nikolaus von Reznicek, Composer Brno Philharmonic - Željko Straka, Conductor Romantic Opera Overtures (Weber, Wagner, Flotow, Kreutzer, Nikolai, Reznicek) ℗ 1975 Supraphon a.s. Released 04-26-2019 Emil Nikolaus Joseph, Freiherr von Reznicek (May 4, 1860, Vienna - August 2, 1945, Berlin) Austrian composer of Romanian-Czech ancestry, active in Graz, Berlin and Mainz, among other cities. Reznicek spent his childhood in Vienna, until the family moved to Graz in 1874. He began piano lessons in 1871. His first compositions date from 1876-78, when he was a student in Graz and at the Staatsgymnasium in Marburg an der Drau (Maribor). He studied law and music in Graz from 1878-80. He never completed his law degree, but continued to study music with Wilhelm Mayer (also known as W. A. Rémy). Finally, he went to Leipzig to study with Carl Reinecke and Salomon Jadassohn. He gained his diploma as a composer on June 9, 1882 and apprenticed as a conductor at various theaters in Graz, Zürich, Stettin, Jena, Bochum, Berlin, and Mainz, and then became conductor of a Prague military band, and the Court Orchestra in Weimar. Among his works are several operas, orchestral works, songs and chamber music but his name is remembered today mainly for his second opera, Donna Diana, which premiered in 1894 at the New German Theater of Prague, and, more specifically, for its brief, vivacious and superbly crafted overture. Later this overture would become the signature theme for the radio and TV program Sergeant Preston of the Yukon, an adventure series set in the far North that chronicled the exploits of a Royal Canadian Mountie and his loyal husky, Yukon King. Reznicek wrote other operas, but Donna Diana was his one international hit. Gustav Mahler thought highly of it and conducted its Viennese premiere in 1904. In 1932, Reznicek and another composer, Richard Strauss, formed an international society for composers. When Reznicek resisted a Nazi takeover of that organization in 1942, the 82-year-old was punished by having his music confiscated by the Propaganda Ministry. He died three years later in 1945 amid the bombed-out rubble of Berlin of typhoid fever aggravated by starvation.

I've always admired the Brno Philharmonic, and they shine in this particular recording, of a particular favorite of mine.
