Music historians like to list composers from any given period in (generally opposing) pairs--there's Bach and Handel, Haydn and Mozart, Mahler and Bruckner, Brahms and Wagner, and in 19th-century Czech music, Dvorřak and Smetana. The only problem with this last is that there was also Fibich, a successful composer of both operas and symphonies, and a name that deserves quite a bit more attention that it currently receives. His three symphonies are superbly crafted, tuneful, ably-orchestrated pieces in the rich central European tradition of Brahms and Bruckner. They are not, however, particularly "Czech"- sounding, and this has counted against their being played more frequently outside his native country. But if you like Brahms and Dvorřak, you'll like Fibich.
