Vivid sound colour combines here with deeply, perfectly felt agogics and brilliant work with tempo has endowed Dvorak's music with a surprisingly extensive and free space for what the listener expects in the romantic "landscape behind the music".
It is also clear that the conductor was not holding back from great contrasts in dynamics, expression and in tempos, that he was not afraid of agogics, accelerandos, expansive sound, mystery and an almost frenzied excitement--in other words romanticism with all that it involves.
All the movements have a steady pulse, but at the same time there is very thoughtful, detailed work with agogics.
