ANTONIN DVORAK
Symphony no. 9 "From the New World" • Othello Overture, Op. 93, B. 174
Berliner Philharmoniker
Claudio Abbado
Registrazione dal vivo, Berlino 1997
"Were I to prepare a revised Collection feature, Abbado and Masur would be among my top digital recommendations. But don't forget Ancerl on Supraphon, still 'top dog' for a stereo New World."
"So müssen sich selbst die ansonsten so gerne slawisch überfärbten Naturlaute zurückhalten, um diesem kunstfertigen, spielerisch präsenten Dahinterhören Platz zu machen."
Historical recordings
A collection focusing on historical singers in rare recordings - mostly in the form of “portrayals”. The singers featured here are the ones who have made opera legendary. Hence the name “Il Mito dell’Opera” - “Legendary Opera”
News from the Past
This series features rarely performed operas, symphonic music and chamber works. Many of these recordings were world première recordings. Hence the title “Novità del Passato” – they are all “News from the Past”.
