Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
These eloquent artists' earlier DG pairing of Dvorák's third and seventh symphonies really stood out from the crowd; if anything, though, this new release is even more impressive. First-rate recordings of the sixth symphony (a truly life-enhancing work--why do we scarcely ever hear it in the concert hall?) are not hard to find; Karel Ancerl (Supraphon), Rafael Kubelik (DG) and Witold Rowicki (Philips Duo) are all at their formidable best in this glorious score. Even so, Myung-Whun Chung and the Vienna PO are not out of place in such august company. The Korean maestro directs proceedings with an enviable sureness of purpose, quick-witted flexibility and interpretative charisma that genuinely excite (be warned, the "Furiant" scherzo goes like the wind). What's more, the VPO responds with its customary poise, sensitivity and (most crucially) all the freshness of new discovery--an observation which extends to the generous coupling here. Once again, pungent characterisation is very much the order of the day, and there are countless insights along the way (the third movement's miniature coda positively winks at you!). Along with Harnoncourt's superb Teldec version, Chung's is as stimulating a view of the eighth as we've had in some considerable time. Big, bold sonics. A distinguished coupling, in sum, and not to be missed.--Andrew Achenbach
