Since I've been greatly enjoying the Dovrak string quartets I acquired, I'm
ready for a complete set of the symphonies. I have a recording or two of
the last three symphonies but none of the earlier ones. If memory serves,
I have Davis doing the last three on Philips and Harnoncourt's 7th or 8th
(whichever he did first).
Kubelik has a full set on DG, and I think that's received much acclaim.
Are there any other full sets of merit? I could also buy on a one by one
basis. Reading the archives, it appeared that Szell was considered a great
buy for the latter symphonies. How about Gunzenhauser on Naxos?
