boom3 Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Dvorak Symphony No.9, "From The New World". Royal Concertgebouw, Nikolaus Harnoncourt, conductor. Teldec 3984-2524-9. Available from Amazon. This is one of my favorite orchestral pieces and I have heard it from many other orchestras. This recording must rank with the Telarc 1812 as a DVD-A masterwork. It is perfect in pacing, mixing and overall sound. If I have one caveat, and that is minor, it is that the bass gets a little mushy in loud passages, which may be due to drum baffling, miking, or simply hitting the resonance points of my CW IIs in my living room. Some DVD-As make individual instruments sound too airy and unfocused, not this one. Imaging remains satisying without resort to tricks in the mix.
