Product Description

These are good performances of Dvorák's two most popular symphonies, but they come into direct competition with Rafael Kubelík's standard-setting performances on DG with the very same orchestra, and in that respect they simply fail to measure up. Consumers are faced with an embarrassment of riches in this music, and there's simply no reason not to go for the best, particularly when price is not an issue. So unless you are a major Karajan fan, go for Kubelík. --David Hurwitz
