I can name my favourite New World: Ferenc Fricsay with the Belin Philharmonic in DG.Seán wrote:Interesting comments Fergus, you obviously enjoyed listening to Dvorak's gorgeous 'New World Symphony'. Do you have a favourite recording?fergus wrote:Dvorak 9....
The opening movement was very expansive and one really got a sense of wide open spaces. The Largo was beautifully played with much tenderness and not a little pathos. The scherzo was an energetic affair and the final movement steadily builds to a strong climax. A most enjoyable listen.
Re: What are you listening two?
I have a number of works conducted by Fricsay and he is good, no doubt, but I am just a little surprised that you have not come across a more modern version that you might prefer? It must be very good if noboby has surpassed it!Jose Echenique wrote: I can name my favourite New World: Ferenc Fricsay with the Belin Philharmonic in DG.

Poulenc: Quatre Motets pour le temps de Noel, from this set....
Four short but suitably joyous and beautiful works. The singing is outstanding, particularly the soprano line.

How do you find Jansons handles Dvorak's music Seán?
