End of the Dvořák Symphony Cycle

Skip to Tracks
There are many fine recordings of the complete Dvořák Symphonies if you are so inclined to purchase a set. Some are performances by Czech orchestras; others orchestras directed by Czech conductors. But this set we've been listening to, recorded in the 1960's by Decca UK, of the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by István Kertész, is still my favourite.

Thank you David for introducing me to Dvorak and his 9 Symphonies. Extraordinary works. I have been totally enthralled throughout this series. Do you know if there is a CD set of the complete works; if so can you pass on the label and title info to me. Again, many thanks for the introduction !!

Hi Neil. Take a look at my blurb above the track listings. I highly recommend the set we've been listening to.
