Istvan Kertesz - Dvorak: Symphony No.9 (1961) [2016 SACD]

Dvorak: Symphony No. 9 "From the New World"
A masterpiece overwhelmed by the spirit of Kertesz
Hungarian-born conductor Isdvan Kertesz made his first recording with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra in 1961. Kertesz's passion for this recording overwhelms the listener. The spirit is symbolized by the thumping timpani at the beginning, and there is a pleasure to fall into the illusion that you are listening on the podium. The master tape of this famous recording was kept in the Decca Archive, and will be released as a two-disc set of "SACD single layer + CD" by local mastering. It's a scary disc that tests the grade of the audio system.
