LIMELIGHT Magazine have selected Dvořák: Slavonic Dances with Czech Philharmonic & Sir Simon Rattle as an Editor’s Choice in their latest issue!
LIMELIGHT writes that “Not only is it exhilarating to re-discover the sun-lit uplands of Bohemia in Dvořák’s perennially life-enhancing Slavonic Dances, it’s a pleasure to hear both sets in their entirety” and “In this release, Rattle and his Czech orchestra achieve shimmering tones in both the winds and strings. They seem to find insights in every number. Op. 46, No. 4, a slow waltz, galumphs as if the dancers were wearing hobnail boots rather than ballroom slippers. In No. 5, the extreme dynamics ranging between fortissimo and pianissimo are scrupulously observed.”.
