In Reply to: RE: More on Dvorak and Szell posted by TGR on February 28, 2017 at 09:35:15
As much as I enjoy Szell's performances of Dvorak's works, and I may have all of them, I prefer Walter's Eighth.
Follow Ups:
Walter's New World was my intro to that symphony. Haven't heard it in years, but a couple of years back I acquired an unopened LP of it, on Odyssey (Odyssey was a real thrill was I was 18-20 - bought a lot of those).
How did it sound?
Walter stuff from his Hollywood days feature wonderful sound from made up orchestra, stereo, a bit bass fullness, close up miking.
His 8th is famous, but I found some of it slowish, not exciting but very expressive and poetic.
I forgot, I have my uncle's copy of probably 2 eye, listened to it once, some surface noise on and off.
The very excellent Dohnanyi/Cleveland sets (7-9, and 6 plus Scherzo C, etc.) are easily obtainable on Decca CD, and I have a sealed digital LP copy. People claim they're a bit bright, but this isn't that bad and the sound is very very good.
Neumann CPO, I have a sealed copy, on Teldec.
Too much to hear it all.
