first of all i hate negative reviews just because someone dislikes an "interpretation" of a piece, however i just coudn't find any thing good to say about this cd. dvorak's ninth is mine and many others favorite because of the lyrical quality of the symphony. kubelik seems to ignore this and go right for the drama. the timpani and horns are miked way too loud and the strings are an indistinguishable mush. you can find many better on budget labels. thanks for reading and this review applies only to ninth symphony.
