Description:

Dvorak, Symphony Series #3A series that has been well-received by the audio industry, now features Dvorak: Seventh Symphony, Organ Edition. This series, which began with the New World Symphony, now includes three of Dvořák's most famous symphonies. Bharatha's naturalistic performance of this most folkloric of Dvořák's symphonies is a real treat. This performance and recording of the organ version, despite being performed by only one person, satisfies the listener thanks to the full acoustics of the Dvořák Hall. The coupled Brahms Preludes and Fugues are the complete recordings of excerpts previously recorded by Bartha on Organ Illusions and are representative of Brahms' organ music. They have a close musical relationship with each other, and there are many aspects of Brahms' influence that are evident in the Seventh, and the fact that Bharatha dared to couple the Prelude and Fugue with the Seventh enhances the album. This series of works is highly favored by audiophiles. Octavia Records
