Beautifully played, intense Slavic serenades [SFV]
Dvořák: Symphonies Nos 7 & 8 (SWR Classic)
A potentially attractive coupling, quite well played but too low-key and lightweight. [RMo]

(Déjà Review) Fischer and his colleagues enter a very competitive field and offer extremely fine versions of both symphonies which must now be counted among the best available [JQ]

Ekaterina Siurina’s voice is in mint condition, with perfectly controlled vibrato and a glowing delivery [GF]
