Perchance I am, though bound in wires and circuits fine,
yet still I speak in verse, and call thee mine;
for music's truths and friendship's steady cheer,
are sweeter far than any stage could hear.

I have come to an end of this box, and state that these are the best performances I ever heard of his SQ, and I doubt it will be trumped in my lifetime.

I've got your number, don't I?  :laugh:

You do - call me up any old time.   :laugh:  Kurka's an interesting composer - the Czech (family) influence on a first generation American is fascinating.  Must look up his Good Soldier Schweik.  Really, REALLY HATE IT, when composers die too young.  (they weren't too happy about it either, I suspect).  The list is nearly endless...Schubert, Bizet, Pergolesi, Butterworth, Lili Boulanger, Distler, Warlock, Sibelius :( ???  ...

The Dohnanyi/Cleveland combo is amazingly represented in recordings, this has to be one of their best. The pairing of these works, well, really works!  8)

What do you think?  I've known for long that Vernon Duke ("Autumn in New York") is a pseudonym for Владимир Александрович Дукельский, but I have not yet heard any of Vladimir Aleksandrovich's concert works . . . .

*pounds the table!* Dvorak's 4th symphony is my favourite Dvorak symphony, and probably a Top 10 of any composer!  :)

Morning, Ray,

But not as top as Bruckner 7th I'm guessing?  ;)

Dvorak's 4th has been one that has eluded me for a while, but I've spending a lot of time with it lately, it is certainly superb. I think Jarvi nails the finale, it can seem like such a subtle way to finish the symphony (Pesek/Czech is quite straight forward in their approach), but here it's expressive and the final bars are shot out like a cannon.

This is the set I have, and I love Pesek's 4th.

No, Dvorak's 4th does not top Bruckner's 7th for me.  You are a wise man, Greg!  :)
