Dvorak

[Roehre]

...
But, at 51'50, there are still cuts in Rowicki's No.2 aren't there? Seek out Rozhdestvensky/USSR TV&RLSO (!), on the Audiophile Classics Gold CD. At 62'37, it must be the closest we'll get to a complete version and just happens to be stunningly well-played, recorded and remastered.

I seem to recall -cannot check it at the moment- that Kertesz' Dvorak 2 is uncut as well, bar a repeat, lasting nearly 58 minutes.

The Eighth Symphony is a favourite of mine especially in the Halle/Barbirolli Pye recording which for many years rightly had a Rosette in the Penguin Guide .

I loved the seventh that was played and the last two movements of his Requiem I hav'nt heard that piece in ages. After singing of the version that was played, I must seek that out. Which one was it?

[aeolium]

Of the chamber works, I love the A major piano quintet, the E-flat string quintet, the 'American' quartet, the Bagatelles, and the violin Sonatina.

What about the last two string quartets opp 105 and 106, Pabmusic , and the piano quartets and piano trios?

The op34 quartet is well worth a listen. Great last movement.

Which one's that? I'm a tad dyslexic and opus no.s irritate me

Interesting thread, teamsaint

[Roehre]

Don't we all think it's easier to mention the Dvoark works we don't like.
The thread would be considerably shorter, methinks

OK, good idea! Here we go:
Stabat Mater
Carnival Overture
Piano Concerto
Slavonic Dances
Czech Suite
American Suite
Symphonic Variations
Slavonic Rhapsodies
Rusalka
'American' Quartet ( formerly known as the 'Ni****')
Symphony No 1 in C minor
Symphonic Poem 'The Golden Spinning Wheel'
'Hussite' overture.

- and, as Roehre suggests, it's easier to name the works I dislike (PIano Concerto, first two symphonies, Stabat Mater, Hero's Song).

This is lovely, too (apologies if it's already been mentioned):

This Dumka they are playing, at the time of writing this post, I have (I don't think), never heard before!

[Jonathan]

I know a lot of people dislike the Piano Concerto but I really rather like it! Think I'll give it a spin now!
I also like the Carnival overture mentioned earlier. I've got boxed sets of the chamber music and the piano music which I really must get around to listening to sometime.

Yes Jonathan, I also like the piano concerto and have a couple of recordings of it.

I heard all of the Dumky Trio just now and it did nothing to displace the sensation I described above, that AD's chamber music doesn't do much for me.

(The 'American' quartet is the exception, proving the rule...)

[Barbirollians]

I like the Piano Concerto especially when Sviatoslav R is at the piano .
