After just finishing listening to Krip's version, critical it is then "Schubert"!
The quality of this late '50's recording and the performance garner my critical approval! Bold and powerful, but delightfully uplifting.
On the other hand, I just began Dvorak's 9th. on the Chesky label. Sonically, compared to the Krips, it's in another zip code! One of the best, if NOT the best, symphonic recordings I've ever heard! But oh my, the performance is so beautiful and stirring! All I can say is wow, oh WOW!!!
After getting out my notes from a college music appreciation class upon obtaining my 1st. high-end rig, seeking symphonic music to intermix with my preponderance of 60's & early 70's rock, I still recall listening & quickly learning to love this work! However this is the illusive performance & recording of the New World I have been seeking, but hadn't yet found! My hats off to you "Almarg". Thanks for the heads-up! It's truly appreciated!
We have a date to hear Dvorak's 9th. in a few weeks! I upgraded our season ticket seats to the dress circle because of my love for this piece, but I can't see how it could top what I'm now listening to!
Music reproduction of this superb quality, more than justifies all the time money and effort spent putting together a highly resolved system! The big CAT JL3 monos and Soundlabs are really purring & singing tonight. Gotta love it.
This is the way a symphonic recording should sound, but only very rarely does. What a combination: Horenstein & Chesky! All I can say is, if you can find this recording, buy it. It's a real, but rare treat....smile!!
