Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A little perspective
Reading the quibbles about this CD's sonic imperfections shouldn't lead anyone to think this disk features the dismal sound Szell usually got from Columbia. Sony somehow raised the sound quality miles above that. No, it's not quite state of the art, but Sony will do music a huge service if they remaster more of Szell's great recordings to this standard!
Szell opts for wide contrasts in tempo--so once in awhile, fast sections may seem a trifle rushed and slow passages a bit labored. ... Read More
Rating: - Finest recording of the complete Dvorak Slavonic Dances.
To iron-out Shota's review, this is not an all-American ensemblage: this by definition does not "rival European maestros" as Szell WAS an European maestro, being Hungarian. Importantly, his long-standing collaboration with probably the best US orchestra of that generation/crop, is the most wonderful reading of Dvorak's Complete Slavonic Dances.

Rating: - Dvorak - good music, played brilliantly, and a friendly price to match
You can't really ask for much more.
The life in each dance is incredible. There is a whole world within each small segment, a world that comes alive with every listen. One can simply put this on as background music (for it is beautiful and well played), bounce along to it, or even just sit down and absorb every sound. There is something so satisfying about listening to these well recorded pieces.
In addition to the great music (Dvorak was a master, and these dances are just ... Read More
Rating: - Beautiful and Eclectic (albeit bittersweet)
This has turned into one of my favorite "work" music selections. The different selections are very rich and are diverse enough in character that there is no monotony to the collection. The quality of the recording is outstanding.
