Like his younger brother, Václav Matyáš Gurecký, he apparently studied with the Piarists and played in the orchestra of Cardinal Schrattenbach in Kroměříž. He also played in the orchestra of Schrattenbach’s successor Jakob Ernst von Liechtenstein (1738-45). During this time he possibly travelled around Europe, staying perhaps at the court of Count Rudolph Franz Erwein Schönborn in Wiesentheid where some of his music survives. On the death of his brother in 1743 Gurecký took his place as musical director of Olomouc Cathedral, a post he held until his death. Leopold Mozart attended a service in the cathedral in 1767 and found it dull, but this may have been partly due to the absence of trumpets, which had been prohibited in church services since 1754. Gurecký composed mostly church music, of which only eight sacred arias survive. In 1751 he wrote a festival opera for the 600th anniversary of the founding of the Premonstratensian monastery of Hradisko, near Olomouc, an allegorical work entitled Filia Sion; only the printed Latin libretto is extant.
