Dvorak: Symphonies Nos. 7, 8 & 9 New World
The outstanding performance here is the Seventh--one of the best, beautifully played by this great orchestra. The other two symphonies are also very well done, if perhaps a bit overshadowed, but that's what happens when one performance is so overwhelming. It's a fault you can live with. The package is topped off by a compelling version of the neglected but magnificentSymphonic Variations. An appealing package, then, at a twofer price.--David Hurwitz
