Editorial Reviews

This is a magnificent coupling of two symphonies by two composers who shared the ability to write some of the greatest tunes in history. Carlo Maria Giulini has recorded this music numerous times, but these versions are without a doubt his best. The combination of a conductor of uncompromising seriousness and one of the world's most brilliant orchestras really works, producing performances of excitement and depth. A great disc. --David Hurwitz

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful Performances
Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2006

Giulini leads the Chicago with great force and majesty in these very familiar works. The Chicago orchestra is just wonderful, and Giulini brings far greater depth to the Schubert than other contemporary conductors, who seem to back away from 'overplaying" the more grandiose Romantic aspects.

This Chicago DG CD sounds better than one reviewer claims - I have thousands of vinyl records, so I understand what he is trying to say: I just don't think this is nearly as bad an example as he suggests. As many people apparently have complained about the sound on this particular DG series I will be reasonable and wonder if all CD series are issued unchanged - on my copy things are not as bad as his sounded. Indeed, it's much, much easier to listen to the sound on this DG than several of the highly rated Montreal Decca CDs, which to my ears display many of the worst digital problems with sound so shrill any musical pleasure becomes increasingly negated as you try to listen.

SO - if these Giulini performances are remastered then everyone will be happy, for the newer DG remasterings have been exceptional, along with the RCA Hybrids, The Mercury reissues and some of the earlier reissues on digital of analog EMIs and Deccas.

The CD, advertised as being in Good condition, was dirty and somewhat scuffed but played just fine so no complaints. Oddly included in the package was a $100 voucher for a wine club, a voucher for 16 free meals from Hello Fresh, and a solicitation from St. Jude's Children's Hospital.

3.0 out of 5 stars Jansons rises to moments of vigor, but the overall temperature is too cool
Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2012
Dvorak's 9th Symphony achieves its greatness through simplicity more than grandeur. Sure, there's a strong structural backdrop, but its nostalgic, homey feel is what gives it its individuality. I don't think of Mariss Jansons as a flamboyant personality, but that's not necessarily a bad thing in Dvorak. Could he lend himself to the idiomatic qualities that the symphony is overflowing with?

Unfortunately, despite stretches of vigorous playing from the Oslo Philharmonic, Dvorak's great masterpiece never quite gets off the ground. Jansons doesn't see the need to be lovable. He's not overly aggressive either. Instead, we're in for conducting that doesn't have any active flaws, just nothing noteworthy. I'm not sure why Jansons saw merit in a performance that flows gently by without any new insight, but that's what he gave us. The outer movements don't have the zest the puts a smile on the listener's face. And the Largo drags on with little beauty, much less soul. The Oslo Philharmonic plays well, but they don't have all the personality of a great orchestra. Lorin Maazel wasn't very inspired in his reading with the Vienna Phil, but that orchestra's sound is so tremendous that the listener can still keep his interest. There's no such thing to save the day here.

The same goes for Jansons' reading of "Vltava". There's nothing offensive, but where's the inner life? I wish the waves of the mighty river would touch the depths of the soul, as they do with Harnoncourt and Vienna.

P.S. Dec. '12: Jansons followed up with a second recording on the Concertgebouw's house label. That reading is considerably more imaginative and better played, even though it's a bit cool.

5.0 out of 5 stars The ultimate "Unfinished"
Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2001
If only for Schubert's symphony and there are not enough stars for this CD. I looked a long time for a version of this symphony that will sound different every time I listen to it (the way Bruno Walter said). Listening to this CD was the revelation I expected. A wonderfull orchestra in the hands of a master. An ever fresh sound, beatufully blended and right at the heart of Schubert. Arrau said that Schubert's latest works suggest the composer's feeling of fatality. You can understand this if you listen to Arrau's recordings of the latest Schubert Sonatas (especially no21) and Giulini's version of the "Unfinished" symphony. Dvorak's 9th is also a very fine version even though I consider Celibidache's version with Munchner Philharmoniker the last word "From New World". But make time to listen Giulini. His orchestra has always something to say that you never heard.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb performances.
Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2000
Carlo Maria Giulini may not be as well known as many glamorous jet-set conductors, but he was one of the half dozen or so greatest conductors of the 20th century, nevertheless. And he had a special affinity for both the symphonies on this CD. Giulini's performance of Schubert's "Unfinished" Symphony is simply sublime. No other conductor can match him in this work. His performance of the "New World" symphony is also outstanding. It is, I must admit, a bit more Brahmsian than idiomatically Czechish -- but it is, nevertheless, magnificent. I beg you to listen to it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A recording to come back to with much pleasure
Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2000
This DG recording is a product of Giulini's years as Principal Guest Conductor of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Recorded in the 1970s, these performances are good examples of a comment on Giulini's work that came from one Chicago orchestra member who was quoted as saying, "...with Solti we play out of respect....with Giulini we play with love..." Both the Dvorak New World Symphony, with the first movement repeat included and the Schubert Unfinished are performed with refinement, beauty, and tenderness. Very, very warmly recommended.

2.0 out of 5 stars Who the heck is conducting this thing?
Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2001
I know this is a great piece of music. Inspired the scores for hundreds of western movies. I also consider it a mission to search out servicable classical bargain recordings for newbies who want to sample a lot of music or students who have to feed that portable CD player on a tight budget. This version of Dvorak's 9th doesn't cut it - & I score leniently!! Sluggish tempi, muddy sound, some very slipshod playing at times. & who the heck is conducting this thing? You can do a lot better for under six bucks.
If this CD is DDD, my name is Dom DeLuise Dvorak.

5.0 out of 5 stars 慈しむようなタクト。そしてビルトゥオーソの競演（饗宴？）
Reviewed in Japan on June 22, 2009
Verified Purchase
　60年代後半から70年代にジュリーニはシカゴ響と潤いある名盤をいくつか残しました。
70年に新譜で出たﾗﾍﾞﾙ編曲の［展覧会の絵」は、その頃ＦＭで放送され、解説の大木正興氏が「ジュリーニの時代が訪れた」と締めくくりの言葉を言われていたのを思い出します。そのジュリーニももう天国の人。昔をなつかしみつつ、彼の「新世界」のディスクは実はフィルハーモニア管との旧盤を持っています。シカゴ響と比較して、基本的なスタンスは変わらないけれど、ビルトゥオーソ集団のシカゴの金管群の何と豊かなこと！フィルハーモニア管の時はだいぶん弦を強調して聴こえますけど、ここではちょっと大人しめ？でも、2楽章と4楽章では、軽くポルタメントをかけているのが聴こえてきます。フロンティア精神のアメリカに望郷の歌が心をかすめる。そんな歌を惜しみなく盛り込んだドボルザークの心象は、ジュリーニの慈しむようなタクトで芳醇にどっしりとダイナミックに再現されていてとても味わい深かったです。
