Digital Booklet
|
|||||
"Among the finest discographic achievements of the tragically short-lived Hungarian conductor István Kertész was his landmark stereo cycle of the Dvořák symphonies with the London Symphony. For anyone who loves this composer’s music, the Kertész compilation is self-recommending; it is still the best traversal of the symphonies, with not a single performance or recording that is less than outstanding."
- The NPR Guide to Building a Classical CD Collection
This nine album box set contains acclaimed recordings the London Symphony Orchestra made in the 1960s under István Kertész. More than 50 years later, these performances of Dvořák's symphonies, his Requiem and other pieces remain benchmarks.
