"Giulini's conducting incorporates elements of Furtwangler's and Toscanini's styles. His dynamism and purity of sound are reminiscent of Toscanini, but the spacious, Romantic approach reminds one of Furtwangler. His particular attentiveness to inner voices results in a rich sound. Giulini eschews podium theatrics or autocratic attitudes. Instead, he approaches the musicians as co-workers serving the music." – All Music Guide

1. Band 1: First Movement – Allegro Maestoso

Disappointing

Unfortunately my copy of this was very noisy with constant clicks and pops throughout and the recording distorted on climaxes. Very disappointing, particularly given that when I contacted Testament directly to complain they did not reply. I gave this record away.

I am completely biased but I love it!

I've heard Giulini in concert many times and it is true that his directing style could not be further away from Bernstein or Klaus Peter Flor - Giulini favoring small and discrete moves and eschewing any physical excitation as if almost apologizing for standing between the audience and the musicians. Yet his sound is nothing small, discrete or apologetic. Giulini calls forth huge romantic images which serve Dvorak's 7th beautifully; his ability to shape the London Philharmonic to paint extremely diverse landscapes makes this disc one of the few references on the 7th. Greatly recommended and the EMI pressing is technically perfect,preserving the beauty of the master tapes.
