Is there another recording of the Dvorak with Piatigorsky apart from the Munch?

There are some other fine recordings of the Dvorak:
Rose/Philadelphia/Ormandy - very satisfying
Feuermann/Berlin State Opera Orch/Taube - glorious, from 1929, though he does rush ahead in places
Navarra/Schwarz 1954 - not the greatest sound but excellent playing
Janigro/Vienna State Opera/Dixon 1953 - this one has some eccentric tempi in places, but also some really good playing from Janigro. It's well worth a listen on YT - quite compelling in its way. It's a lot more relaxed and spacious than the Kleiber
Janigro/Koln Radio Orch/Erich Kleiber live 1955 - I like Janigro in this work!

Big fan of the RCA Reissues and Munch, but not a very flattering representation of Pia's art, IMHO. nt - jdaniel@jps.net 16:09:16 09/27/16 (3)
