I didn't expect something, just started to listen. It's not to bad, ... it's pretty slow but more significant it misses the poetic/idyllic almost idealistic touch this piece screams for (or is that just me ?!). Someone else described this version like Neumann in the rol of a wise story-teller instead of a poet and i agree with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although not a general rule (at least for me), I would see some Czech music more "at home" with a domestic orchestra .... in this case : Recorded in February 1975 .... btw this Cover Art used for a Quadrophonic Reissue in 1981 ....

This recording hits the spot ! Delivers a transparant and stately performance despite being a little slow. No, that Leipzig recording doesn't sound good to me.
