Best Version of Dvorak's Symphony No. 9 I Have Heard
I haven't heard every recording of Dvorak's Symphony No. 9, but this version and this transfer in particular into DSD128 is by far my favorite. Delicacy in abundance, raw strength in abundance, grace in abundance, sheer beauty in abundance. You can't go wrong here. Highly recommended.

In a word, fabulous.
A great transfer. of a great recording. Many thanks! The stars must have aligned for this one: Great but tragically under-recorded conductor – check. Virtuoso orchestra, post-Beecham, but still with all his hand-picked superstar soloists – check. Wilkie, at his peak, recording, say no more – check. Kingsway Hall 1960, so still – I presume – all tube, plus minimal miking - check. I have pots of New World Recordings, and this joins the Szell/Cleveland and Kertesz/VPO and LSO right at the top of the tree. If I were a complete OTT perfectionist, I might say the SQ is a tad white and bass-light, but it is stunningly transparent and revealing. Sometimes I think we have been going backwards in recording quality since the early 60s. Seriously, you would be doing us all a great service by continuing to wave your magic wand over more of the great Reader’s Digest recordings from this period. There is a real treasure trove out there!
