This orchestra learned to play these symphonies under the legendary George Szell, whose Sony recordings have been reissued on CD and remain a prime recommendation in this music. For those seeking digital sound, however, these new versions are very distinguished, combining the Cleveland Orchestra's customary superb ensemble with a warmth and urgency of expression usually in short supply from this conductor. At mid-price, this is an excellent recommendation. --David Hurwitz

A vibrant recording!.......2001-09-20
No, this disc sounds great, and it's very affordable, too. I must admit, I don't own any other versions of these two great Dvorak symphonies (as opposed to the 9th, of which I have three). But then again, Dohnanyi has done such a masterful job that I don't really need to look anywhere else. I listen to this disc at least once a month, and each time I hear it, I can't believe how talented Dvorak was. I highly recommend this disc to anyone interested in this excellent 19th-century composer.
Wonderful performance of incredible works.......2000-11-22
The Cleveland orchestra is in top form here. The sound quality of this CD is superb. I should also mention that the timpanis are particularly well-recorded. In many recordings they sound mushy and reverberate too much, but here, they are wonderfully punctuated and emphatic.
$ is a great price for a recording of this quality. I would highly recommend it for anyone who hasn't heard the 7th or 8th symphonies or who has but is looking for an excellent recording of them.
