RE: I see a list like yours, and I think. . .

Posted by Old Listener on January 9, 2017 at 08:41:50:
". . . wow! Aside from the Mackerras recordings, aren't you the least bit curious as to what has been happening in recordings of this music since the 70's? Or do you simply dismiss stuff that's been recorded since the 70's? Not that there's anything wrong with the versions you mention (I certainly like most of the recordings on your list too - well, maybe except for the Monteux recording of the Seventh!), but music making just didn't stop in the 70's."

I merely said that my criteria were different from yours and listed recordings that I come back to often. You know nothing about what other recordings I own or have heard.

You may feel that affirmative action for musicians requires that I give equal attention to and equal affection for recent recordings by currently active musicians.

I'll go right on making my own decisions about what to buy and what to return to regularly. A recording can be a fresh discovery for me whether it was recorded this year, 10 years ago or 30 or fifty.

For the record, vinyl isn't a factor for me now.

How about making a positive contribution to this thread by listing and describing some recent recordings of note of the Dvorak symphonies?
