Ries: Symphony No. 3; Symphony No. 5

Ries was immensely prolific and successful in his day. Though profoundly influenced by Beethoven, (his No. 5 opens with a parody of Beethoven’s Fifth) these are inventive works, attractive if naive melodically, performed here with energy and passion. George Pratt
