Listened to that recording (1965) this morning - one of my first Dvorak LPs and nla. Not very Bohemian to my ears. -
Looking further shows that Brilliant Classic licenced the 1982 Richter/Borodin performance for their Chamber Edition so I guess that is what they have included in their other large Dvorak boxes. They have the booklet for their Complete Dvorak edition on line, lots of programme notes but no list of performers!Comment

Is that the same recording that was issued on the 'Russia Revelation' label ? It was also (assuming it is a different recording) recorded in 1982.Originally posted by mikealdren View Post
I would add that the 'Russia Revelation' recording is blisteringly vital - and - perhaps surprisingly, very well-recorded. Well-worth looking out for - if you like Dvorak!Last edited by visualnickmos; 08-04-18, 12:02.Comment

The box does NOT contain a quartet. It is what it says - the concertos, plus a few very short random fillers.Originally posted by mikealdren View PostComment

No, I think my confusion was around the soloists on the original list and the comments about Peter Shreier that led me to try to search out the recording. I guess it's in the complete Dvorak box.Originally posted by visualnickmos View PostComment

The Quintet is a favorite of mine, but I listened to the Quartet for probably the second time ever today, streaming Pressler/Emerson on Amazon. It's clearly from the same workbench as the Quintet, vintage Dvorak, but not his best champagne.
There are none of those ear worm tunes that abound in the Quintet, and nothing to compare with the driving force of the polka theme in I. I'm not sure why the need to be paired on a program.Comment

The Audiophile's Choice, and musically pretty wonderful too....

My picks would be:
Jan Panenka & the Panocha Quartet (Supraphon)
András Schiff & the Panocha Quartet (Teldec)
Ivan Klańský & the (new) Vlach Quartet (Naxos)
Ivan Klańský & the Pražák Quartet (Praga)Comment

Riches await you, Bbm, if you decide to explore! IMHO, much of Dvorak's chamber music is so rewarding, and life-affirming, that it deserves to be heard more often.Originally posted by Brassbandmaestro View PostComment

Only got one recording - Richter and Borodins live at Prague 1982. Quite a ride. Sound not too great but ears soon adjust.Comment

Two recordings here. Richter/Borodins and Martin Roscoe/Schidlof Quartet on the Linn label. The latter was bought out of curiosity, but my, what an amazing performance and recording. Available from Amazon Prime. I don't expect it to get much attention on Saturday.Comment

Martin Roscoe always produces good recordings. I'll be getting that. or here on Amazon Music!Originally posted by Beef Oven! View PostDon’t cry for me

There were some second hand copies of the CD at cheap prices on Amazon, last time I looked. Amazon proper want about £17.Originally posted by Brassbandmaestro View PostComment
