There are quite a few amazing performances out there regarding the Dvorak concerto. However, my first experience with Fournier`s really captivated me. It ranks right up there with DuPre/Chicago on EMI (mid 1970`s) and Casals/Czech on EMI (late 1930`s).

The first movement is brilliant, with a beautifully mournful trumpet solo about two minutes in. Very nice sound in this Galleria mid-priced cd, with an attractive cover as well. This performance easily ranks in the top five concerning the Dvorak piece.

Although not as impressive as the Dvorak, Fournier does a commendable job with the Elgar. It is not my first choice - yes, yes, I know all about the famous DuPre/Barbirolli tandem- but this recording does offer a generous coupling without giving up any quality.
