Summary: Dvorak's Greatest Symphonies
Review: Everyone goes on and on about the 9th. Yes, it's a great symphony, but a bit overplayed. The 8th, on the other hand, is a fantastic work which still sounds fresh to the listener 100 years after it was written.If you're interested in learning about the 8th symphony, seeing the scoring of that famous Largo in the 9th, or simply are curious about the way Dvorak scored for the orchestra, this edition of these two symphonies needs to be in your library. Conductors know that Dover editions are wonderful inexpensive alternatives to "Urtext" editions, and are ideal for initial study, building a library, and even use as a conducting score in many cases. They're great volumes, they're published well, they look and feel great. These two symphonies should be represented in any classical music lover's recording collection, and the scores make excellent listening companions. If you can read the music, and especially if you might ever have to conduct these works, this edition is a must-buy.

Summary: Dvorak's AMAZING New World Symphony
Review: I played a shortened version of this piece with my high school Jr Band. Then, we played it in Sr band, and finally got to see it performed by the Clevland Symphony Orchestra. Wow. I wouldn't think a piece of classical music, normally considered snooze material, would have such an impact. We were inspired and awed. We felt the music, especially since we've played it. The speed, agility and variring nature of the piece brings you up in the 1st section... slows you down in the second with beauteous harmony... brings the pace back up in the third for the final heart-wrenching finish. Buy this piece!!! You'll be happy you did!!!

Summary: Es grandiosa!!!
Review: La 9a SinfonÃa de Dvorak es un gran ejemplo de perfección en la escritura sinfónica: 4 movimientos constructurados (el tercero un scherzo), esta sinfonÃa fué compuesta para un viaje de Dvorak a los Estados Unidos, toda la fuerza y delicadeza que implica la ejecución de esta sinfonia debe ser estrictamente perfecta. La dulzura del segundo movimiento logra el efecto para el cual fue escrito, es una gran sinfonÃa!!!.
