We need a new recording (or Supraphon reissue) of the fine 'Sinfonia Pacis' (Symphony No 2) by Viktor Kalabis (1961).

Each of the symphonies by Kalabis is very fine :) I have them all...except for No.1 :(

Kalabis was, in my opinion, one of the best Czech composers of his post-Martinu generation.

While we might all agree, Kalabis clearly belongs to a later generation than we have in mind here...

My mistake, apologies (we still need the Kalabis though  8))

That's fine. It's just that we need to keep threads on track if at all possible. After all, there's always the possibility of starting another one...

I have gradually put together a large collection of scores of piano music by these composers and their contemporaries (too numerous to list now, but Axman, Harasta, Vycpalek and others spring to mind) which I will record some of one day. Btw, I was in the Janacek Museum in Brno last week and saw a photo of Janacek and Chlubna.
