Dvorak 9th Symphony

Folks that are interested in a good recording of Dvorjak's Symphony 9, may want to look at the Czech P.O. with Neumann conducting.

Again...favorites in the latter camp? Thanks.

I just got my monthly Classical List from Scott Campbell and in it under Columbia was "Dvorak, New World Symphony (#5). I believe the 5th and 9th may be the same. Can I be right?????

Dvorak's first symphonies were apparently not published for a while, so his 9th was thought to be his 5th up through the 50s, I believe. I have an old Decca recording calling it the 5th as well.
