Dvorák: Symphony No. 6; The Wood Dove

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Music critics love to say that this symphony resembles Brahms's Second, which in some ways it does. What they neglect to point out, however, is that Dvorák wrote five symphonies before Brahms wrote one, so it's just as fair to say that the reason it resembles Brahms is because Brahms resembles Dvorák! It's certainly as fine as anything by Brahms, and for those who haven't heard it yet, this performance will win it many new friends. This version of the The Wood Dove, the greatest of Dvorák's late symphonic poems, is also stunning. A lovely disc. --David Hurwitz

5 out of 5 stars Dvorák's 6th Symphony: A Reminder of its Beauty.......2006-12-09

Antonin Dvorák works are staples in the orchestral repertoire and his admirers are legion. Though his 8th and 9th symphonies appear regularly on all major orchestra programs, the 6th is relatively unknown. Strange, as this symphony is the first of Dvorák's 'mature' works. It is beautifully if fitfully constructed and savors all of the factors that make Dvorák unique - driving rhythms, bohemian folksongs and dances, languorous melodies, and frenetic presto movements. It calls for an orchestra of great skill to pull it off and a conductor sensitive to all of the innuendoes of Dvorák's writing to make it the convincing work it most assuredly is.

On this fine recording Jirí Belohlávek (currently the conductor of the BBC symphony) leads his Orchestr Ceská Filharmonie in a brisk and bright performance. Jirí Belohlávek conducted the Los Angeles Philharmonic in a performance that featured this symphony and with that powerful ensemble and brilliant acoustic of the Disney Hall created a magic the audience will not soon forget. Belohlávek is an under-appreciated conductor able to draw magic from ensembles. And this recording, including the very popular and inordinately beautiful tone poem 'The Wood Dove' deserves more attention than it has received. A perfect introduction to a neglected Dvorák masterpiece. Grady Harp, December 06

4 out of 5 stars A great piece to follow the 9th........1999-12-31

If you're new to classical music, you've probably already heard Dvorak's 9th "New World" Symphony. If you want to expand your Dvorak collection, the 6th Symphony is a good choice. It shares many lyrical traits of the 9th. The recording itself is fine and makes a great addition to any classical library.

Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars The other reviews only PARTLY right.......2002-08-14

I agree with both other reviewers re the duo coronet/organ arrangements on SOME of the bands of Disk #2 I have, but McCann plays them very well and the organ is fine if you like the organ (which I don't). BUT, the OTHER BANDS include orchestra and on ALL bands McCann really plays beautifully. However, I will not buy another disk of these because of the duo performance bands and - WHAT A SHAME as ALMOST ALL THE PIECES REALLY ARE AMONG WORLD'S MOST BEAUTIFUL and MANY are very difficult, if not impossible, to find ANY arrangement of (though at least half on each cd readily avail other perfs arrangements).

1 out of 5 stars Misleading CD title!.......2000-12-16

Thought I was purchasing a nice compendium of beautiful songs to listen to on long trips. You'd better love the golden cornet if you buy this CD - or, rather, 5 CDs!

1 out of 5 stars Hope you like the "Golden Cornet" and organ..........2000-03-19

This CD set has all the greatest melodies... only they are performed by some guy and his "golden cornet" (a horn). There is accompaniment by an organ. This set WOULD have been great, IF it was performed by a piano. Huge disappointment. Would have been nice to know what instrument was used to begin with.
