Dvorak: Symphony No. 7, Smetana etc. - Cleveland Orchestra/Szell      (4 of 4 found this review helpful)
  Review by Ed T January 27, 2003

I love this disc. Best performances I've ever heard of the Dvorak 7th, Carnival Overture, The Moldau and Dances from the Bartered Bride. Ok, supposedly Talich and the CPO were better in an ancient recording not likely to appear on SACD. Again, we have Szell, master of this idiom with one of the ... more

A Must! I was pleasantly surprised by this disc which I purchased without knowing anything about the performances. Superb playing of these warhorses. And the sound is gorgeous for this example of the Szell oeurvre. The Grieg and Bizet were recorded in '66; the Mussorgsky Pictures in '63 My ... more
River of Sorrow, Immortal Chinese Instrumentals          (5 of 5 found this review helpful)
  Review by JW April 7, 2003

I just listened to it again and it's stunning at many levels: the packaging for starters is exquisite. The sonics are one of the best I have in my collection and the music is deep, flowing, beautiful and completely different to your normal diet of Jazz, Rock and Classical. This is Chniese classical ... more
