Synopsis

Amazon.com

As is so often the case these days, Carlo Maria Giulini recorded this music several times, most recently with the Concertgebouw Orchestra on Sony. Those are deadly dull performances to be avoided at all costs. These, his first versions, are generally very fine, though he made better versions of the Eighth and Ninth Symphonies with the Chicago Symphony on DG (only the Ninth is currently available). Nevertheless, if you want this particular conductor in this music, you won't be disappointed. --David Hurwitz

CD Reviews

Outstanding performances by a great Dvorak conductor.

D. R. Schryer | Poquoson, VA United States | 12/05/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Carlo Maria Giulini -- though not as famous as some "star" conductors -- was one of the greatest conductors of the 20th century. Although Giulini was outstanding in a wide range of repertoire, he had a particular rapport with the music of Dvorak. I can think no finer performances of the works on this 2 CD set than these. Dvorak's 9th Symphony ("From the New World") is undoubtedly the major attraction on this set, but the other two symphonies are also very good. In fact, in my opinion, the 7th symphony is a masterpiece on a par with the more famous "New World" Symphony. The Scherzo Capriccioso, though not quite on a par with the symphonies, is quite good, particularly as performed by Giulini, and the Carnival Overture is truly a gem. I can't recommend this set too highly. It would be a good buy at full price, and is an incredible buy at this bargain price."
