Synopsis

Amazon.com

This fabulous-sounding performance of Dvorák's delicious Slavonic Dances is probably the finest version to come from an American orchestra since George Szell's fabled Cleveland recordings on Sony. Under Levi, the Atlantans have achieved a remarkable degree of polish and elegance--a truly burnished, central-European sound. Every one of these toe-tapping little gems features countless examples of superb string ensemble, soulful instrumental solos (from trumpets and oboe, especially), and an exciting, flexible rhythmic lift. Levi sets ideal tempos just about everywhere, but he isn't afraid really to let go when the music takes off in one of those typical "acceleration" endings--Op. 72, No. 7, for instance. In short, this disc is simply a joy from start to finish. You'll love it. --David Hurwitz

CD Reviews

Czechs in Atlanta?

William Supon | Cedartown, GA USA | 05/02/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I first heard this CD on public radio. I thought, "It's got to be the Czech Philharmonic--Talich? Neumann?" Imagine my pleasant surprise to find that it was our own "hometown" orchestra, the ASO ! Forget any prejudices you may have in favor of European orchestras or the American Big 5. This CD will show you that you can find other kinds of music in Georgia besides rap, country, and rhythm and blues."

Holy Smokes!!! The Perfect Slavonic Dances at Last!!

Larry Cook | Leesburg, GA USA | 09/30/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"What can I say??!! These are the best Slavonic Dances by far!!!
The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra sound is jubilant, majestic, rousing and colorful! I have other recordings of the dances by
Szell/Cleveland Orchestra, Kubelik/Bavarian Radio Symphony,
Dorati/Royal Philharmonic and Maazel/Berlin Philharmonic but
these don't come close! Joel Levi really pulled off a beauty
here. Too bad Atlanta lost him because he really had a great influence on that orchestra. I just hope Robert Spano and DonaldRunnicles will have just as great or greater influence. Now if
we could get as good a Dvorak Ninth as we did the Slavonic Dances
that would be FANTASTIC!!!!!!!"
