My all time favorite CD.......2004-01-11

Perfect. The best performance of the best music.

Beautiful!!.......2001-11-10

This album is an absolute joy to experience! The recording proves to all who may doubt, that brass quintet is a medium capable of musical miracles! The pieces here are taken from the orchestral repetoire and have been arranged for five brass voices. Trumpeter Rolf Smedvig and his ensemble perform in a manner that is always immaculate, tasteful and above all, musical. The precision of the enemble playing here is in a word, astonishing. On track #1, 'Procession of the Nobles', for example, there is a moment where the 2nd trumpet begins an ascending line that is overtaken and completed by the 1st trumpet. The transition is so liquid and seemless that the casual listener will not even be aware that the line wasn't played by one person! Tubist Samuel Pilafian offers a lovely arrangement of Copland's 'Simple Gifts' that shows off a wide range of sound from soft and sweet to bold and grand. Another favorite is the joyous 'Slavonic Dance No. 8' with its rollicking, sunny feel and inspiring dynamic contrast. Brass enthusiasts, purchase this recording with confidence! It is amazing!

Go For Beecham In The "Rustic".......2004-05-27

Bernstein could be very effective in certain works - his Mahler 7th immediately springs to mind. Unfortunately, what we have here is not very idiomatic conducting. Compare these hammy renditions of Dvorak & Smetana to those by just about any Czech (but especially Talich and Sejna) and I think you'll find that the latter are far more "in the vein." The chief attraction here is the lovely "Rustic Wedding Symphony" by Karl Goldmark. Why this wonderful work isn't better known is a mystery to me - it's just the sort of thing that might bring audiences back into the concert halls. What melodic, life-affirming music!

Unfortunately, this Bernstein isn't the best way to hear the Goldmark. It's played too hard - and frankly, the NY Phil. often sounds like an aggressive high school ensemble here. There were once treasurable recordings from Vienna by more sympathetic interpreters like Heger and Swoboda. But the finest of all was the Beecham/Royal Philharmonic - one of the most heartwarming and endearing performances of anything on disc. It's available in England on Sony - and possibly in the U. S. as an import.

Goldmark is the star of this CD........1999-10-20

Dvorak is the composer printed prominently on the cover, but it's Goldmark's Rustic Wedding Symphony that is the star of this show. This relatively neglected but delightful work deserves to be as popular as Dvorak's 9th Symphony. Bernstein's is the the best stereo recording of the piece that I've heard.

This is excellent in every respect.......2005-11-20

George Szell's recordings of Smetana's "The Moldau" and 3 Dances from "The Bartered Bride" + Dvorak's "Carnival" Overture and 4 Slavonic dances are excellent in every respect, and are likely yet to be bettered, even though these recordings were made over 40 years ago. Szell was a native of Hungary, coming to New York in 1940, but during his youth had lived in Prague, so was very familiar with the Czech national feeling and idiom of Czech music. Szell also recorded Dvorak's Symphonies 7, 8 and 9, the complete Slavonic Dances (all of Opus 46 and 72) and Smetana's Overture to the "Bartered Bride" (mono, but very good sound) with the Cleveland Orchestra for Columbia, and they are among the very best recordings of these works even today. Sony released Szell's Dvorak 7,8,9 in a "Masterworks" edition in 1998, and I suggest anyone loving Czech music get that recording, plus this one, even though "Carnival" is in both recordings.

There is a sense of rightness about all these recordings-the Cleveland Orchestra are so precise and the sound is very good: rich and full in all ranges. On my system, this benefits from adding the "Loudness" contour, which emphasizes bass and treble a little. I can't tell you what Szell does in every piece; he just seems to have a certain nuance and confidence that places this among the best recordings.

I've know this recording since 1973; our library had it on an Epic LP, and when the age of CD came along in the 1980s, I bought this. I have years of familiarity with Szell's Smetana and Dvorak, and it has enriched my life alot. I keep coming back to it, like a great book or movie. Highly recommended, and a bargain as well.

Kdenek kosler at his best !.......2005-12-04

Zcech conductor Zdenek kosler is an inmense conductor, Karl Ancerl and Vaclav Neumann's disciple, and in this CD you cand find with him Dvorak's Scherzo Capriccioso and Smetana's The Moldau, excellent performances!. I also recommend to you Mahler's Titan symphony in Kosler's version, in "Amadis" a bargain collection in NAXOS, commented here before. oscarolavarria

Defective CD.......2002-03-24

Beware of this recording. It is defective. I purchased it and returned it several times from another vendor. And it seems your own samples are the same.

It skips from Dvorak to Smetana and bypasses all the Moravian Dances and anything else in-between. Even your sample which lists "Scherzo" by Dvorak, is in fact the beginning of the Moldau by Smetana. In other words, whoever produced this CD erased all the numbers in between!

I would appreciate to hear from other customers, to see if their experience matches mine.

Great Music Ruined by Poor Production.......2000-06-19

This CD features 13 pieces of music, which are broken down into 6 tracks. For example, selections from "The Bartered Bride" are one solid track. You cannot listen to Polka, Furiant, or Dance of the Comedians without first listening to the Overture. Janacek's Five Maravian Dances also form a single track. Fortunately, the music itself is very enjoyable (4 Stars). I specifically purchased this CD because I also have the Naxos "The World of Digital Classics, Sampler 3".
