Pick my album


Looking for a suggestion. First one gets a complete listen and amateur review.

...  when it comes to classical, I have usually been a greatest hits listener, Beethoven, Mozart, Wagner.

Dvorak's Symphony No. 9 (the "New World Symphony"), Jascha Horenstein conducting the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Chesky CD31.

Out of print but may be findable as a CD at Amazon or eBay.  I don't know if it is available on streaming services.

Outstanding performance of this eminently likeable work; **amazing** sonics in this Chesky remastering.  You will not believe it was recorded in 1962!

No worries @isochronism , I was being sincere for the record. Maybe "review" wasn't the best idea, my intent was to listen and share thoughts, with the potential of leaving my comfort zone taste-wise, which is precisely what the Bruckner suggestion did.

So, mission accomplished then? Certainly won't argue this is a top 5 thread, though, ha ha ha.


Thanks for the suggestion.

No problem! I enjoy Bruckner’s symphonies, particularly his 8th.
Here’s another piece:

The Tjeknavorian Violin Concerto performed by Emmanuel Tjeknavorian with the Frankfurt Radio Symphony & Ulrich Edelmann. Normally I prefer the “standard repertoire” concertos to those by contemporary composers, but this (in my opinion) is one of the best violin concertos composed in the 21st century.
