CD Reviews

Best recording of the Dvorak Symphonies

Paul Claerhout | Dallas, TX | 07/25/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The Penguin Guide classical music recording review guide book gave these recordings an unfavorable review. Shame on them! These are absolutely the BEST Dvorak symphony recordings I've ever heard (and I listened to several before finding these). Excellent recorded sound, too. You can hear every part of the orchestra very clearly. What you have here is an excellent Czech orchestra (the Czech Phil is one of the best orchestras in the world, in my opinion), guided by a Czech conductor performing music of a Czech composer. My only complaint is the 2nd,5th, and 8th symphonies are divided between 2 CDs, so you have to change discs between the 2nd and 3rd movements in those two symponies. But with playing, interpretation, and recording quality as good as this, it's acceptable. Highly recommended!!"
