Press review

This is what any recording of this piece has to be about - communicating a masterpiece afresh without veering from tradition - and this recording now joins a select few at the top of the list.
Philip Haldeman, American Record Guide, November/December 2002

Though there are many fine versions of the New World Symphony, this one stands comparisons with the finest, as well as offering a unique and apt coupling in its two-disc format.
Edward Greenfield, Gramophone, July 2002

Complete description

This double CD (for the price of one) features Vladimir Ashkenazy conducting the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, who perform their compatriot Antonín Dvořák's famous Symphony No. 9 "From the New World". Also included are the three overtures Opp. 91-93, In Nature's Realm, Carnival and Othello.

Vladimir Ashkenazy served as the Czech Philharmonic's chief conductor from 1998-2003. These recordings were made in 1999 at the orchestra's home residency, the Dvořák Hall in Prague's historic Rudolfinum.
