Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Dvorak at his best
Even though Dvorak was not born in the U.S. his expression of his love of country has endeared us to his works.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - My jaw is still on the floor
Wow! Where the heck did this come from? There isn't one note here without energy, direction, and passion. The New York Phil sounds great as always but with an added layer of warmth especially in the strings and brass. For a long time, Solti's recording with Chicago was by far my favorite but I think this has overtaken it. The major difference between the two is the largo.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fabulous CD
My overwhelming thought listening to this CD is that life is worth living!
This is really great music.

This Dvorak ninth will rip your freakin' head off man!!!!!!!!!!
Masur and the Nypo play like demons with a technical skill that is devastating especially with the fact that this is a live performance.
This is PURE POWER with the timpani placed forward so that the strokes pound the livin' crap out of your freakin' noggin!!!!!
Masur takes a direct approach to the score with a careful ear for detail accompanied with eloquent expressiveness resulting in a truly memorable performance.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - First steps
I believe that this is one of the best albums that I have ever had a chance to listen to. Altdough I think that the part with the Slavic dances isn't as good as the Symphony, the album in all is very, very, very good.
I reccomend it to all who want to take their first steps into classical music. Symphony No9, and especially this recording of it (perfect sound, perfect performance),will definately make you want more of classical music. Buy it, enjoy it!!
