About
A new installment in the complete recording cycle of Dvořák's Symphonies with the Deutsche Radio Philharmonie.
This release comprises both a symphony and rarely recorded opera overtures by Dvořák. The chief conductor of the orchestra, Finnish maestro Pietari Inkinen, continues the Dvořák Cycle begun under the baton of Karel Mark Chichon.
The Second Symphony, composed when Dvořák was 24, was certainly no masterpiece, neither was its revised version. Nevertheless, it is an extraordinary testament to Dvořák’s talent since it clearly bears his stamp, even though it shows the influence of others. “This man has more ideas than all of us put together”, Brahms said in appreciation of Dvořák’s output. This is certainly borne out when listening to the Second Symphony.

This is, in any event, the best stand-alone performance of the Dvořák Second Symphony so far available, especially when we consider the limpid sound SWR has delivered, the pretty textures of the orchestra and Pietari Inkinen’s simple, intuitive phrasing.
