I really like the chamber textures that open the work. Very melodic and lovely. In terms of what was being written in 1879 I wouldn't say it's overly long.
I think that is the result of the orchestra playing the music being chosen as similar to the ones available in Denmark at the times. It's a bit ridiculous concept to be honest.
Sergio , ok but remember that once the fall of the Iron Curtain, recordings have been made of provincial orchestras that otherwise wouldnt have had the opportunity. It is a cost thing. Paying the players, the janitors, and the coterie of minor league everybody elses in a " progressive" socialist scene with their hands out. Or at least was, that sort of cost thing. I have enough experience with Western-funded post Wall recording to be dangerous, as they say. 🤣Andrew Mogelia did a really nice Dvorak 4 ( the true Dvorak 4) about 20 years ago when this band came out in CDs - isnt it the old Marienbad Phil. ? and it certainly didnt hurt his career ! e@@SergioCánovasCM
Be aware, also, that every previous upload of these 2 symphonies, either by artists or other channels has been taken down, either by RU-vid or the proprietors. I wish you good fortune.
