Fritz's ''New World '' from ChicagoAugust 10, 2016By owen ryan (lakewood, CA)See All My Reviews"After reviewing a couple of newly purchased Dvorak Ninths I decided to give a listen to a couple of New Worlds that I've had for some time. Since first becoming serious about classical music, RCA's Living Stereo discs captured my audiophile fancy. Reiner's version of Dvorak's Ninth doesn't seem to be a top choice of some professional critics. But I am going to adopt Alex Russell's statement on MusicWeb Int. as my own: ''One of the finest conducted and played accounts of this popular and over played score in the current catalog.'' Despite being almost 60 years old, this recording sounds pretty good. I compared this SACD remastering to a JVC (red book) remaster from 1991 and found the JVC to be more full bodied. The SACD, however, has more punch and clarity. This performance and recording will remain as one of my favorites so I have no hesitation in recommending it."Report Abuse
