Usually composers get better and better approaching their 9th Symphony. But with Dvorak, to my surprise, the 8th was better than the 9th. And now I have found that the 7th is even better than the 8th.
Listened to Kubelik conducting the Berliners. What a magnificent symphony and recording!
The orchestration is spot on. The gestures, textures, momentum, drama -- everything seems to work perfectly and smoothly.
The 7th Dvorak Symphony sure lifted my spirits tonight! There is an awful lot of mediocre music in the world but this symphony in undoubtedly excellent.
