My wife being a cellist, I've heard most recordings and dozens of performances of the magnificent Dvorak concerto. Mork's recording may have been a good choice within the context of the program, but as a stand-alone recording for the listening room, it is near the bottom of my list. Whatever happened to Jansons, who normally infuses a spark into any music? Whatever happened to the Oslo orchestra, which is normally awake when performing? Mork offers some exquisite moments, with his sonorous tone, but overall this is a tepid recording of the Dvorak.

Just my opinion, of course.
