It's been too long since I last heard this. Today, with different amps, I heard it a little differently, with Kubelik "working it" a little harder, using his first chairs to put lovely, "subtle" shadings on Fournier's decisive phrases, with phenomenal timing, pitch and timbre; real Art. I may never understand how he manages to get so much from an orchestra. VERY well done! Not to mention truly astounding dynamics and amazingly natural massed strings from the LP!
Again, no setting aside the piece or the cellist; both are brilliant! We are so lucky that Dvorak changed his mind about the cello. One for the ages!
