There are certainly worse recordings of the complete symphonies of Antonin Dvorák -- the lackluster Václav Neumann, the wrong-headed Neeme Järvi, the dreary Andrew Davis -- but this set by Otmar Suitner and the Staatskapelle Berlin is so much less appealing than the truly great performances -- the glorious István Kertész, the fabulous Rafael Kubelik, and the magnificent Witold Rowicki -- that it is impossible to recommend. Suitner knows what to do and when to do it, and there are no outright gaffes, but he seems impervious to the music's charm and to its meaning. Melodies that should be lyrical are merely perfunctory, developments that should be dramatic are simply prosaic, and climaxes that should be shattering are only loud. Part of the responsibility lies with the Staatskapelle Berlin, which can surely handle anything in these scores, but which often sounds like it is sight-reading, resulting in a less than unified ensemble and less than convincing performances. Berlin Classics stereo sound is thick, lumpy, and gray. In short, this is a set only likely to interest listeners who have to have every Dvorák cycle or everything Suitner ever recorded.

Album review
There are certainly worse recordings of the complete symphonies of Antonin Dvorák -- the lackluster Václav Neumann, the wrong-headed Neeme Järvi, the dreary Andrew Davis -- but this set by Otmar Suitner and the Staatskapelle Berlin is so much less appealing than the truly great performances -- the glorious István Kertész, the fabulous Rafael Kubelik, and the magnificent Witold Rowicki -- that it is impossible to recommend. Suitner knows what to do and when to do it, and there are no outright gaffes, but he seems impervious to the music's charm and to its meaning. Melodies that should be lyrical are merely perfunctory, developments that should be dramatic are simply prosaic, and climaxes that should be shattering are only loud. Part of the responsibility lies with the Staatskapelle Berlin, which can surely handle anything in these scores, but which often sounds like it is sight-reading, resulting in a less than unified ensemble and less than convincing performances. Berlin Classics stereo sound is thick, lumpy, and gray. In short, this is a set only likely to interest listeners who have to have every Dvorák cycle or everything Suitner ever recorded.
