Hm, it is like a déjà vu. I am listening now my WHRB that is playing Westminster LP with “Artur Rodzinski who died in Boston November 27, 1958” lading the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (at that time “Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra of London”) with the Dvorak’s Symphony No. 9, Op. 95 and suddenly get this email from site.
The Ancerl is good, very good but his PLAY of the work too creamy; ironically as creamy to my taster the Czech Philharmonic might be sometimes. Perhaps I a wrong but I do not think that VTA adjustment might be anything with it.

Anyhow, let have some fun with Czech Philharmonic tone. Here is homework for the site readers: can you build a mental association between the Czech Philharmonic‘s tone and republican nominee in 2008 John McCain? It is not a joke BTW…
