Search - Dvorak, Jarvi, Scottish National Orchestra :: Symphonies 1-9

Neeme Järvi really is a very good conductor of late Romantic music, and his Dvorák symphonies invariably come across as fresh and spontaneous. Sonically, the recordings vary a bit. Some of them are simply excellent, but others may sound somewhat cavernous on some systems, owing to Chandos's preference for a generous amount of reverberation around the instruments. This minor caveat ought not to deter you from enjoying what is, on balance, an extremely fine set. --David Hurwitz
