Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.1/100, a mean average of 80.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.2.

Beautifully written.
Even though Dvorak was a composer from the romantic era and a strong defender of traditional music, his sound has a unequivocal hint of modernity.
The philharmonic supreme execution under Karajan's masterful dynamic control makes it a very intense listening.
Smetana's composition pleases me but loses edge and power when compiled with Dvorak's.
Very good record overall!

.... Perhaps it`s the bad sound of his recordings - the bass is too thick!

Why Karajan?
