Dvorak: Slavonic Dances Op 46 & 72

"Mikhail Pletnev and the Russian National Orchestra add to their store of fine recordings for DG with this distinctive and highly enjoyable version of Dvorak's colourful dances. These are, after all, works which for all their lack of pretension are open to all kinds of subtleties of interpretation, with different views totally valid...Dynamic contrasts are sharply defined through all the dances, and Pletnev and his Russian players consistently make one marvel at the beauty of the instrumentation. Like the Previn version, but in a totally different way, this is a disc to give a fresh view of well-loved music." (Gramophone)
