CD Reviews

Bravissimo!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"There is much to love in this recording of Dvorak's popular "New World Symphony". The music of the Largo is extremely warm and beautiful. The Scherzo bustles with energy during the fast sections and dances beautifully in the middle section. And both the first and last movements are thoroughly energetic and powerful (Christoph von Dohnanyi and his Cleveland Orechestra clearly understand the meaning of "con fuoco"!) This recording is one of my favorites and is certainly a fine addition to anyone's collection."

The standard by which all others are judged

"It astounds me that this performance isn't higher in the Amazon Dvorak 9th pecking order. This is an always has been THE finest perfomance of the 9th ever recorded. von Dohnanyi conducts with marvelous strenght yet great sensitivity. All the complex internal lines, esp. the low strings are very well defined. von Dohnanyi brings a uniquely slavic understanding to this music.

When this symphony was first performed in America, when the conductor came to the end of the 4th con fuoco movement, there was a stunned silence, followed by more than 15 minutes of cheers, rabid applause, curtain calls, bravos. The applause followed him out of the theater into the street outside. This was thought to be the first great American symphony, with Black Spiritual "Goin' Home". "Three Blind Mice", etc. Now it is regarded as a great symphony, but what is American in here is tempered with a lot of Czech/Bohemia slavic folk music influence, too. Implies the growing industrial power and grandeur of America, as it seemed to the visitor Dvorak in the 1890's.

Makes you want to stand up and cheer. A textbook example of how to create a dramatic symphony. If you are an America or a Bohemian, you should feel it in your blood.

This performance is like that! Dvorak would be proud.

The best.

Not only the best but one of the benchmark greatest performances in classical music history. The standard by which all others are judged."

Overwhelmingly Beautiful

"I heard this conductor conduct this symphony with the Boston Symphony Orchestra last week. The phrasing and the energy were different than I ever remember. The symphony was so engaging and beautiful that my friend and I were in tears at the end. This is music played with both heart and soul. I am buying the recording for many family members for Christmas."
