Recently, I have been listening to the Cleveland Orchestra play the Moldau with
George Szell conducting. I am always so captivated by the clarity and
cleanliness of Cleveland's sound. The strings particularly have a crisp
quality an togetherness that is not common, even in professional
orchestras. My favorite part of the recording is at the peasant wedding
section. The tempo when the piece gets to this section sits so nicely.
It feels just right, the section is fast enough to create a wonderful
sense of motion, but slow enough to feel the slight lilt of the dance. I
highly recommend this recording to everyone!
