George Szell conducts the 8th and famous 9th (“From the New World”) symphonies of Antonin Dvorak. To quote Classical CD Review, “there are few other recordings available of both symphonies that equal these.”

I must admit that George Szell has close to god-like status in my book. Sony’s pairing of his justly-famous Beethoven overtures (with the Eroica symphony) were what attracted me to SACD in the first place almost five years ago. That being said, I still was not prepared for my own reaction upon hearing this astonishing disk – I openly wept for several minutes. It is THAT good! Sure, Szell takes risks, especially in the last movement of the ninth, but the whole thing holds together in a way that is very difficult to describe. There is insanely beautiful instrumental playing throughout these performances which may perhaps never be equalled again. Szell was at the very top of his incredible game here – and commanded what many then felt was the greatest orchestra in the world. This recording quickly shows why. The sonics are excellent, even though slight analog tape hiss is audible. This is a must-have.
…
I can only echo the other reviewers here. This is one of the immortal recordings. Great music, great playing – even pretty good sound!
I can’t imagine these performances being surpassed. They really do put the Fischer recordings – good though they are – in their place. Never has the difference between ‘good’ and great’ been so clearly displayed as here.
What’s more, this is one of Sony’s better transfers. It sounds clear, lucid and well-balanced. No, it doesn’t sound as good as the miraculous Fisher offering on Philips/Channel Classics (that is state-of-the-art) but, with performances like this, it really matters not.
