It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: Kind of a general response.

There is another Kertesz recording of the New World Symphony with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra on Decca. That one has been my very favorite for 4+ decades.

The Kertesz / LSO recording of the 8th Symphony is my very favorite for that symphony.

I don't find Chris's criterion that a conductor should deliver a point of view to be relevant to my choices. I choose on the basis of two questions: did I enjoy listening to the recording and will I want to listen to it again?

A number of recordings of Dvorak works pass my tests. The ones I go back to often are

6th Symphony: Kertesz/LSO, Rowicki/LSO and Ancerl/Czech PO

7th Symphony: Szell/ Cleveland, Kertesz/LSO, Rowicki/ LSO, Monteux/LSO

8th Symphony: Kertesz/LSO, Szell/ Cleveland, Mackerras/Prague SO, Barbirolli/Halle Orchestra

9th Symphony: Kertesz/VPO, Szell/Cleveland, Rowicki/LSO, Mackerras/Prague SO, Kondrashin/VPO

I've got Neumann and Kubelik recordings but I don't revisit them very often.
