"Dvorak's three early symphonies are usually overlooked in the classical recording repretoire as being uninventive and boring. Naturally, I was quite skeptical in purchasing this set. What a delightful surprise! The symphonies are clear predecessors to the later works in their power and emotional intensity. I agree that they might not be as passionate as masterpieces like the 8th and 9th; however, they are true gems that should be explored by any Dvorak fan. The recorded sound is great and Rowicki offers fine tempi and dynamics."
