 Rating:  - Dvorak at his bestEven though Dvorak was not born in the U.S. his expression of his love of country has endeared us to his works. Rating: - My jaw is still on the floorWow! Where the heck did this come from? There isn't one note here without energy, direction, and passion. The New York Phil sounds great as always but with an added layer of warmth especially in the strings and brass.

Rating: - How about a NIce 30 pound piece of T-BONE!!!!!!!!!This Dvorak ninth will rip your freakin' head off man!!!!!!!!!! Masur and the Nypo play like demons with a technical skill that is devastating especially with the fact that this is a live performance. This is PURE POWER with the timpani placed forward so that the strokes pound the livin' crap out of your freakin' noggin!!!!! Masur takes a direct approach to the score with a careful ear for detail accompanied with eloquent expressiveness resulting in a truly memorable performance.

Altdough I think that the part with the Slavic dances isn't as good as the Symphony, the album in all is very, very, very good. I reccomend it to all who want to take their first steps into classical music. Symphony No9, and especially this recording of it (perfect sound, perfect performance),will definately make you want more of classical music. Buy it, enjoy it!! Browse for similar items by category:
