{"product_id":"royal-concertgebouw-orchestra-dvorak-symphony-no-9","title":"Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra - Dvorak: Symphony No. 9 [ Vinyl ]","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a landmark recording dating from 1999 by Nikolaus Harnoncourt with one of the greatest orchestras, the Royal Concertgebouw Amsterdam. Gramophone Magazine put this album on the top of the discography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Harnoncourt has some distinguished Concertgebouw forebears, not least structure-conscious Sir Colin Davis and combustible Antal Dorati. This, though, beats them all. Auspicious happenings register within the first few pages: carefully drawn woodwind lines, basses that calm meticulously from fierce fortissimo to tense pianissimo, provocative bassoons and an effortless passage into the lovely flute melody.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the start of the development section, piano violins really are played leggiero (lightly), a significant detail that most rivals gloss over. [...] Harnoncourt's Largo is something of a minor miracle. Undulating clarinets register against shimmering string tremolandos and, beyond the beautifully judged approach to the Meno passage, you suddenly hear quiet second-violin pizzicato chords that you almost never notice in concert.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe finale itself never sags, and for the home straight Harnoncourt treads a course somewhere between the printed Allegro con fuoco and the expressive broadening that Dvorák later sanctioned. Most admirable about Harnoncourt's Dvorák is it's close proximity to nature: barely a minute passes that isn't somewhere touched by verdure or sunshine.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54212979622217,"sku":"190296730825","price":3.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/7329\/9785\/files\/4003311-2738522.jpg?v=1776418036","url":"https:\/\/vintagespinvinyl.com\/products\/royal-concertgebouw-orchestra-dvorak-symphony-no-9","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
