Dvorak 9th Symphony


Folks that are interested in a good recording of Dvorjak's Symphony 9, may want to look at the Czech P.O. with Neumann conducting.

Yes, in a way, Rick. Dvorak's first symphonies were apparently not published for a while, so his 9th was thought to be his 5th up through the 50s, I believe. I have an old Decca recording calling it the 5th as well.
Having just heard this one today at a friends, I will add the 1959 Bruno Walter recording, recently remastered by Sony Classical, to the recommendations above. The music has a natural, unforced flow and beauty that lets the folk tunes come through. Never thought I'd recommend a Columbia, either!
