Sapporo Symphony Orchestra, Tadaaki Otaka "exquisitely done ... the Largo with its haunting cor anglais melody is refined, with exceptionally clean textures
... Altogether an excellent disc, generously filled" Gramophone “Otaka gives us a lovely, generous helping of two much-loved symphonies. As in his work in Wales, his approach is fresh and direct, with the first movement of No 8 taut and urgent, remarkable for the quality of the woodwind solo work.” Gramophone Magazine, Janurary 2008 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Nikolaus Harnoncourt (Recorded live in Amsterdam) "Harnoncourt's delightfully light and modest recording of Dvorak's Eighth Symphony comes as a tonic. Sublety is the key to this fleet-footed performance. Nikolaus Harnoncourt's fresh and detailed recording is a winner.” (BBC Music Magazine) | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Zubin Mehta conducts Mozart, Bartók & DvorakMusic Center, Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, Los Angeles, January 1977
Los Angeles Philharmonic, Zubin Mehta Zubin Mehta, at the age of 26, was the youngest ever conductor to head a major American orchestra. Truly ingenious, he led them to international acclaim. This DVD was recorded at the height of this collaboration, and beautifully portrays an emerging star. In his youth, Mehta was already so much more than a conductor. His profound connection with the orchestra leads to a unity of sound which is rare in today's jet-set reality. He understands how to stretch the orchestra technically because he knows it inside out. In turn, the orchestra inspires Mehta. In their joyful collaboration, hidden musical meanings emerge. Mehta shows his versatility in his interpretations of great works from the 18th, 19th and 20th century. |

Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Herbert von Karajan “Grandiose accounts of pieces that thrive on a more flexible, lyrical approach. The least expressive of conductors to watch, Karajan here seems to have imparted his impassivity to the orchestra with bloated, stodgy results.” BBC Music Magazine, September 2008 ** | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |

Los Angeles Philharmonic, Andre Previn ‘The warmth and freshness of the performance go with the finest recorded sound I have yet heard from this orchestra on record. The Telarc engineers have produced sound of remarkable presence and fullness, combined with an inner clarity to outshine that on Jarvi's excellent Chandos recording.’ Edward Greenfield, Gramophone. 1/1990 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
