MG-50002: DVORÁK: Symphony No.5 in E minor, Op.95 “From The New World”
|
Label Type : | Maroon Mercury Olympian Series Living Presence High Fidelity | ||
Matrix Number : | SIDE-A | MG 50002A FR2 A2 I | |
SIDE-B | MG 50002B FR2 D1 I |
According to the label's print, MG-50002 is a renumbered issue of MG-10118.
This copy's matrix imprints has FR suffix (Indy-pressed) - I believe the earliest copy should have YMG prefix and MF suffix. And this copy may be middle 1950s pressings.
Rafael Kubelik and Chicago Symphony left a series of fine recordings. This “New World” symphony is also thrilling and powerful as the rest of their 1951-1953 sessions.
