5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding, 20 Aug 2005
Although the quality of this double CD set is very high, for me, Symphony No 9 - from the New World - stands out above all the rest. The famous slow largo in the second movment is widely regarded as being the best melody in classical music, being both moving and relaxing, and the bold militancy of the brass in the 4th movement is always a pleasure when one is in a particularly violent mood.

The other works are good as well, but being broadly of the slow string nature, and lacking in the sheer melodic beauty of the 9th's Largo, don't speak to me as much. Nevertheless, this record is extremely good value - and I would recomend to anyone who has any emotion or sense of Romanticism. For me, Dvorak's 9th Symphony represents the pinacle of mankind's artistic achievement.

5.0 out of 5 stars Magical Dvorak, 27 Aug 2009
By Mr. Hywel Jenkins (Somerset, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
There are few musicians alive today who more consistently find the magic in whatever genre they touch than the great Sir Charles Mackerras, forever youthful even in his early eighties. This genius manages to refresh our ears in even in the most familiar repertoire - witness his truly wonderful album of the last four Mozart Symphonies with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra - and his training in Brno gives him a special edge in Slavonic repertoire. This superb album of the last three Dvorak Symphonies and the Symphonic Variations combines that magical Slavonic inflexion which was the special province of Kertesz and Kubelik in the early seventies with excellent recording to spear right to the heart of these works - the dark drama of the first movement of No 7, the serendipity of the scherzos of Nos 7 and 8, the complete abandon of the horns in the finale of No 8 (which even out-Kerteszes Kertesz!) and the wistful final coda of No 9 are all surely pretty much par excellence. In addition there is a sensitive account of the beautiful Violin Romance, Op 11, from Stephanie Gonley. In short, you must have this magical music-making even if you already have these works in other performances, and at the CfP double-album price you can't go wrong!
