Exton also has an SACD of Neumann conducting Dvorak Symphony No. 7 and No. 8. The performances were recorded in Japan with the Czech Philharmonic on tour in 1991, each symphony in a different hall. I prefer the sound here to the 9th Symphony, which was recorded in Prague and suffers a bit from the excess reverberation in the Rudolfinum venue. I bought this SACD first to test the waters. I liked it so much I ordered the 9th and the SACD of the Slavonic Dances.

The Slavonic Dances were recorded in Prague in 1993 with sound similar to the 9th. Listen to the last two dances. No. 15 is very fast. The orchestra races through it, and Neumann even makes a slight accelerando in the finale bars when this seems impossible. No. 16 is played slowly with all the warmth and flexibility I always hope for. The strings are wonderful, especially the cellos and basses. I think it was Mozart who said that the Czechs are the fiddlers of Europe. They prove it in these recordings.
