Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Nikolaus Harnoncourt and Amsterdam's Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra well and truly hit the jackpot with their marvellous Teldec account of Dvorák's eighth symphony. Happily, the present New World (like the eighth, the excellent engineering emanates from a live concert) is just as cherishable, as electrifyingly intense, sublimely articulate and probing an interpretation of this indestructible war-horse as has appeared in many a long moon. Time and again, Harnoncourt has you gasping anew at the wondrous melodic freshness and astounding textural subtlety of Dvorák's inspiration: he really does have the special gift of making you feel you're hearing this music for the very first time. The slow movement is specially affecting, the great cor anglais melody delivered with the utmost simplicity, while the scherzo ideally combines rhythmic buoyancy with affectionate warmth. Best of all, both outer movements are invested with an towering symphonic majesty that sweeps all before it. The performance of the 1896 tone-poem The Water Goblin is comparably distinguished, a vividly dramatic and grippingly atmospheric display, featuring (once again) some magnificent playing from the great Dutch orchestra. A most exciting release.--Andrew Achenbach

5.0 out of 5 stars A towering performance..., 24 Aug 2005
By John David Charles Hilton "Creative spark...." (Redcliffe, Bristol United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
I had high hopes for this recordings. The main work is one of my favourite symphonies and Harnonocourt is one of the most respected conductors in the world, and is here conducting one of the finest orchestras.

Upon hearing it, it became clear that it easily lives up to my expectations. This much recorded masterpiece sounds fresh in his hands. This is the work of a conductor who has thought deeply about the score and he brings it to wonderful life. He has the measure of the whole thing and all four movements are just spot on, in particular he has the measure of the finale in all its moods. And the cor anglais solo in the largo is most affecting. It is a live recording, but the audience are thankfully unobtrusive throughout.

And The Water Goblin is no mere makeweight. Once again it is a searching performance that brings new light onto the work. It is a studio recording.

The sound quality of this DVD is impeccible. The surround sound adding punch and presence to the music in a way that stereo never could.

The only extra is a short historical timeline. It doesn't add much.

This is a disc I would recommend to all music lovers. For Dvorak fans it is almost worth buying a DVD Audio surround system just to hear this recording in all its surround sound glory.

Good quality, classical DVD Audio discs are still a bit thin on the ground, but hopefully that situation will change as more are released.

All in all an excellent release that goes someway towards justifying the new format.

5.0 out of 5 stars An exciting new recording of a repertoire favourite, 19 Jun 2000
By A Customer
This new CD has been attracting rave reviews elsewhere, and having now heard it for myself I can understand why.

Nikolaus Harnoncourt brings a freshness and depth to this well-performed work, giving it a beautiful, juicy, rich texture full of excitement.

Dvorak's "The Water Goblin" also receives the Harnoncourt treatment, which, again, sounds so full of vitality.

This is one CD I have enjoyed listening to several times, and, I'm sure, will continue to do so for a long time to come.
