I heard the Philadelphia Orchestra on tour in Washington at about the time of the recording play the Dvorak overture triology as the first half of a program which concluded with the Brahms Violin Concerto, Mutter as soloist. The entire concert was thrilling--I've long loved the Dvorak trilogy but never had the opportunity to conduct anything but Carneval, and that many times. These were ideal performances; Sawallisch profoundly engaged and the orchestra as well. I can't imagine that a contemporaneous recording would have been any different. Joel Lazar Bethesda, MD
