Album Notes & Community Reviews

Captured during Fritz Reiner's highly disciplined tenure in Chicago, this performance of the Czech composer's ninth symphony is renowned for its precise dynamics. The stereophonic RCA Victor recording highlights the brass section and the work's synthesis of European romanticism with American folk idioms.
