Few other composers' music enjoys such enormous popularity and is as frequently performed on stages worldwide and recorded as that of Antonín Dvorak. And it is the symphonic works that are connected with his name most often. The new Supraphon eight-disc box features several complete sets and encompasses Dvorak's most significant symphonic pieces. Alongside the Symphonic Poems and Concert Overtures, Supraphon is releasing for the first time on CD Vaclav Neumann's sensitively remastered 1972-74 analogue recordings of the complete symphonies (until now, only the digital recordings from the 1980s had been released on CD). Vaclav Neumann linked up to the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra's bold Dvorak tradition in the wake of his illustrious predecessors Vaclav Talich and Karel Ancerl and developed it in sonic colourfulness and romantic sweep. Following two complete sets of chamber works (the Panocha Quartet etc., SU 3815-2, SU 3921-2) and the complete essential piano pieces (Radoslav Kvapil, SU 4018-2), you can now add to your music library another of the "worlds" of Dvorak's amazing oeuvre, in a highly acclaimed interpretation with the seal of the Czech Dvorak tradition.
