Istvan Kertesz - Dvorak: Symphony No. 5 - Speakers Corner LP

180-Gram Vinyl • Speakers Corner Reissue

Please note: popularly known as the New World Symphony, in older literature and on this recording it was numbered Symphony No. 5; it is widely known today as Symphony No. 9 in E minor, "From the New World." Antonin Dvorák wrote it in 1893, and it remains by far his most popular symphony. Kertész's approach is as simple and straightforward as could be, yet the hushed intensity of the playing conveys a depth of feeling that makes one hear the music with new ears, with the Vienna Philharmonic playing the Largo most beautifully. Reissued by Speakers Corner from the Decca original.
