Editorial Reviews : Dvorák's music is often a source of sheer warmhearted joy. Even the sadder moments in these gorgeous dances come with a hidden smile and a gracious sense that all is right with the world. The late Rafael Kubelik led his German orchestra in a wonderful recording of these Dances, beautifully played with great affection and idiomatic rhythms (which the conductor must have taught the orchestra). As performances, these are comparable with the legendary 1950 set by Vaclav Talich and the Czech Philharmonic (Supraphon 11 1897-2). Unlike the Supraphon, though, Kubelik's recording is stereo, sounding better than ever in its new remastering and offered at mid-price. --Leslie Gerber
Buyer Reviews : I am new to classical, but a big indie rock and classic/avant-garde jazz fan. This recording is one of the first twenty-five or so classical CDs I have bought. And quite simply, it rocks! Metallica, Nirvana, John Zorn and Sun Ra combined could not have created the sonic resonance and precision speed of Slavonic Dance No. 1 from Op. 46. I knew classical music could be powerful, but this was wonderfully unexpected. The prevoius reviewer was right, this neophyte loves it.
