Three other great recordings
Claudio Abbado (conductor)
laudio Abbado is not necessarily the first name to come to mind where Dvoÿák is concerned. However, the Italian’s live 1995 recording of the Eighth stands out for its open-air quality andthird movement, perhaps the most difficult of the four to bring off successfully, has the feel of a Bohemian dance which somehow eludes many conductors. The Berlin Philharmonic is at its virtuosic best throughout and Sony’s engineers have done a fine job, too. ()
