5.0 out of 5 stars A recording to come back to with much pleasure, July 21, 2000
This review is from: Dvorák: Symphony No.9/ Schubert: Symphony No.8 (Audio CD)
This DG recording is a product of Giulini's years as Principal Guest Conductor of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Recorded in the 1970s, these performances are good examples of a comment on Giulini's work that came from one Chicago orchestra member who was quoted as saying, "...with Solti we play out of respect....with Giulini we play with love..." Both the Dvorak New World Symphony, with the first movement repeat included and the Schubert Unfinished are performed with refinement, beauty, and tenderness. Very, very warmly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars The ultimate "Unfinished", January 25, 2001
This review is from: Dvorák: Symphony No.9/ Schubert: Symphony No.8 (Audio CD)
If only for Schubert's symphony and there are not enough stars for this CD. I looked a long time for a version of this symphony that will sound different every time I listen to it (the way Bruno Walter said). Listening to this CD was the revelation I expected. A wonderfull orchestra in the hands of a master. An ever fresh sound, beatufully blended and right at the heart of Schubert. Arrau said that Schubert's latest works suggest the composer's feeling of fatality. You can understand this if you listen to Arrau's recordings of the latest Schubert Sonatas (especially no21) and Giulini's version of the "Unfinished" symphony. Dvorak's 9th is also a very fine version even though I consider Celibidache's version with Munchner Philharmoniker the last word "From New World". But make time to listen Giulini. His orchestra has always something to say that you never heard.

(VINE VOICE)    (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Dvorák: Symphony No.9/ Schubert: Symphony No.8 (Audio CD)
Carlo Maria Giulini may not be as well known as many glamorous jet-set conductors, but he was one of the half dozen or so greatest conductors of the 20th century, nevertheless. And he had a special affinity for both the symphonies on this CD. Giulini's performance of Schubert's "Unfinished" Symphony is simply sublime. No other conductor can match him in this work. His performance of the "New World" symphony is also outstanding. It is, I must admit, a bit more Brahmsian than idiomatically Czechish -- but it is, nevertheless, magnificent. I beg you to listen to it.
