CD Reviews

Great Music, Greatly Over-Priced

Timothy Dougal | Madison, Wi United States | 09/24/2003

(4 out of 5 stars)

"These historic Dvorak recordings by Raphael Kubelik were made hot on the heels of his defection from newly communist Czechoslovakia, #8 in 1948, #7 in 1951, with the Philharmonia orchestra, before he had found himself a regular gig. The music itself is wonderful. Dvorak managed to work Brahms, Bruckner, Wagner and his own national music concerns into a compelling symphonic synthesis. Kubelik's performances are vigorous, and with the technology of the time, essentially 'live'. The remasterings are a little harsh. The Eighth symphony, transferred from 78's, oddly, is the better-sounding of the two. But with the treble down and the bass up they both are good to listen to. The main flaw with this disc, and the Testament Label generally, is the outrageous list price. EMI should go on trial for abuse of its legacy, as well as business stupidity: better sounding vintage CD's are available from Naxos, Dutton and others, for a fraction of the price. Buy it used!"
