The Austrian symphonist Johann Nepomuk David's (1895-1977) music has been in urgent need of revival. Symphonic and sacred music formed the focal points of his oeuvre. David found and pursued his own unique harmonic path, marked by polyphony and strict counterpoint. 'His music demands in special measure active participation, a close listening;...it is in this way that it becomes possible to let oneself be moved by the music's deep emotional content.' - (excerpted from the CD booklet)
