Dvorak Symphony No. 2 Classic records excellent

yes, it's very nice...at first when you said sym #2, I thought Istvan Kertesz, on London...that's the real #2...last movement, always a doozey...Your #7 is also a great piece, a little moody, then with #8 you get lots of orchestral fun, and then of course with #9 (old #5) one of the most popular pieces in orchestral history...
enjoy!

Gentle Reader,
take note of Kennyb's statement above...I disagree with his assessment, compared to what I've heard. Perhaps in his room, with his gear, it sounds like that, and if we all zoomed into his room right now we would find him correct and that would be that...however, I have played that LP on a few systems I've liked, and did not hear the horrors he describes, nor would I choose the cd version over it.
just an observation....tzh21y...listen for yourself, then judge..

hi Tzh21y...
then something is wrong with your setup, or interaction with room...it's a delightful recording.

I'm going to pull out a few mentioned and have a listen...

to Kennyb...would you compare the Classic's LSC 1934 Reiner to the same's LSC 2374 RCA Bartok--Music for Strings,Percussion and Celesta/ Reiner?

and to all, yes, the London orange labels can be found cheap and sound lovely...yes, the yellow ones are bad

and to Tzh21y, EVERY Speakers Corner I've heard has
been fabulous....wonderful label...

and yes, the Mercury's are great, the originals, that is...their cheap series were pretty bad...you can tell an original if the color front wraps around partly to the back.

and yes, Tzh21y, many many many of those RCA's you mention are just trashed or sound horrible and not always the best buys when buying used...

good to know...thanks..

sorry to laugh, but what's the cutting angle have to do with it, and would you even know it if you were told?
as I said, you have something wrong, and possibly your friends as well...it is a great recording, and pressing, and I've heard it on many systems that were properly setup.
I think it's such a shame that when one reads things like this, you can't just buzz over and listen and help someone out. I guess it shows the limits of forums.
I will say you are at least playing great music. Yes, the Bartok suite is great as well.

Nice post, egrady... thanks.
I'm wondering what will happen, now that Chad Kassem of Acoustic Sounds wants to be the best pressing plant. Who knows what he will be releasing....
