I have heard both these recordings.  They are both fine accounts of the
work.  However, the Kertesz has appauling sound quality with high levels
of distortion, tape hiss and overload.

That is why I now only posess the Ancerl.  This is often available on
budget labels cheaply.

Dvorak's religous works are an unfairly neglected area of the repertoire in
my view.
