Symphony No.3 opens with a wonderfully energetic first movement but the other two movements are less memorable. The tuba in the finale gives a slightly brass band feel to the climaxes.
Symphony No.6 is a much stronger work in four movements, rather reminiscent of Brahms but unmistakably Czech. Again the opening movement is very lively; this time the second movement adagio has much more substance. If you like his Slavonic dances then you'll probably enjoy the scherzo based on a Furiant (a peasant dance) and which, unusually, features a rather rustic piccolo. The finale is vigorous and likeable.
In spite of the recording being somewhat subdued and lacking absolute clarity, you will probably enjoy the music while it is playing, but there are few particularly memorable passages and, if you have a large CD library, you may not be reaching for this one very often. If you haven't got much Dvorak or want a budget price introduction to his symphonies then the Naxos combination of No.4 and No.8, which is also a superior recording, is a better bet. (See my earlier revue)
