The New York Times “Classical Playlist” features the Manfred Honeck and the Pittsburgh Symphony’s Dvořák & Janáček recording:
“Manfred Honeck and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra have quietly become one of the country’s hottest partnerships in repertory staples, thereby invigorating and legitimizing the very idea of a canon. Mr. Honeck’s trademark flexible tempos, along with the spectacularly refined playing he draws, enliven this Dvorak war horse. A suite from Janacek’s “Jenufa,” conceived by Mr. Honeck and realized by the composer Thomas Ille, is grimly convincing.” —David Allen, The New York Times
