content: Sir Colin Davis plays it pretty straightforward here and there's nothing wrong with that. Complaining that this doesn't compare to Dohnanyi, Szell, Mackeras, etc. is redundant. Let those performances stand on their merits, judge this recording by its own merits which are considerable. The LSO playing is excellent throughout, a bit brisk at times but never rushed. Altogether this is a very sympathetic reading, a treat for Dvorak fans.If you already have a favorite cherished version of Dvorak's seventh, it's unlikely that any new version will sway you. But if you're building your classical library or are not happy with the version you currently have, this is recommended. I have no issue at all with the fact that there's no filler, just the one symphony. It's a powerful work and makes an engaging listen on its own.
