Hi Ralph. Great read however I completely disagree with the value you place on the Karajan and Kubelik recordings. Karajan is Karajan in these works, but hardly echt Dvorak, and I also am audibly stunned by how 'unecht' the German orchestras Kubelik uses sound. I agree about the Suitner recordings, but they are on the Germanic scale of Czech swings and roundabouts. I haven't heard the Kertesz recordings...
The recordings to which I return again and again are the Vaclav Neumann recordings - you vant Czech-sounding Dvorak, zis is vat you get.
I also have a problem with the Rowicki set lauded in some quarters. It also just 'sounds' wrong...
Regards
