This is a magnificent compliation even if it's only "snippets" - but what beautiful snippets they are - especially the "Romance in F minor for Violin and Orchestra" with Itzah Perlman, "Silent Woods", "Humoresque in E-flat minor with the marvelous Rudolf Firkusny (recorded not long before he died), but the frosting on the cake is Frederica von Stade's melting aria "O Moon High up in the Deep Sky" from Rusalka. (It reminded me a little of "Ebben? Ne andro lontana" Renee Fleming: By Request that gained so much traction back in the 80s as part of the soundtrack of "Diva" with Wilhelmenia Fernandez). THIS beautiful soundtrack confirms that Dvorak was perhaps a greater composer of chamber music, and music for voice, than an symphonist (and certainly not a "one hit wonder" with his "New World" Symphony Dvorak: The Symphoniesthat will be played for as long as orchestras exist - and that's a good thing!) HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
