	Records International catalogue October 1998
		The first is very classical in outline, with many felicitous touches of transparent orchestration and a lovely slow movement; the second has absorbed some of the Wagnerism that was going around at the time, and is a more dramatic work, but no less appealing.
		12 symphonies are from 1769 and revert to Gossec's most common three-movement format while the final one is the latest, probably from no later than 1776 with a remarkable first-movement triumphal march followed by a funereal lament and a high-spirited finale.
		These are attractive, well-constructed works which may not plumb the depths of his most famous contemporaries but which shed light on the symphonic aspect of this prolific composer, professor, conductor and spokesman for the French Revolution.
