These are first recordings of three attractive early symphonies by the Bohemian-born Adalbert Gyrowetz (1763-1850), clearly influenced in their purposeful developments and deft wind scoring by his idol and mentor Haydn. The LMP's spirited performances lose a little edge in the resonant acoustic. Anthony Burton
