Synopsis

Amazon.com

Why, oh why, DG, when you have two of the greatest performances of these symphonies already in your catalog (Rafael Kubelík with the Berlin Philharmonic, available at mid-price, too) do you compete with yourself by releasing this utterly unnecessary disc? It's not bad, but it's nothing special either, and this kind of pointless duplication of repertoire does nothing to help the public make sense out of the zillions of recordings of the same music, particularly when just about everyone agrees on what the great performances really are. A waste. --David Hurwitz

CD Reviews

Successful follow-up to Levine's "Ma Vlast"

07/17/1999

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Ten years after DG first released Levine's highly successful "Ma Vlast," Levine has recorded Dvorak's last two and most popular symphonies for this outstanding disc. Throughout, the playing of the Staatakapelle Dresden is responsive to Levine's direction and the recorded sound from DG's top drawer, helped by the accustics of the recording venue. Levine's performances of the two symphonies makes the listener want to continue listening. Especially in the "New World," with an impulsive first movement, a beautiful and heartfelt Largo, a light-hearted Scherzo and a finale that blazes on intensely. This is certainly a worthy successor to the Kubelik coupling on DG's Originals series."
