Just arrived ! Symphonies 5 and 6 are pure delight.

Great stuff! Symphony No. 4 may be my favorite Dvorak symphony (right now). A great cycle from Neumann.

Absolutely. I'm going to rip a CD of it beforehand. :)

Wonderful stuff. I think that's the best cycle. It being January, you'll enjoy Winter Dreams.

I think outside of the Russians, HvK should be excellent in this repertoire. He's shown some affinity for Russian music before. Jansons has another strong cycle that I remember fondly. I also like the Gergiev recordings of Symphonies 5 & 6 with the Kirov Orchestra on Philips.

Thank you; looking forward to hearing it. I will most likely end up with all five discs  :)

This one is a total shot in the dark. I have no idea what to expect here other than choral music.

It's a very nice Naxos series. My favorite of the five discs is volume 3.

A nice little treasure.  And his Chopin is nothing to complain about.

After the Brexit lunacy I thought it's a good moment to buy Elgar's music for the lunatic asylum patients.  ;D

To continue Sejna week here, I just unwrapped this:

A quick spin of the 7th is most impressive, and of course the 1950s Czech Philharmonic sounds as magnificent as ever.
