Dvorak: Symphony No. 9 (From the New World)
Since its spectacularly successful premiere in 1893, Dvorák’s Symphony From the New World has enjoyed almost universal popularity. The composer was quick to realise its star potential and volunteered it for programming on a number of occasions and he himself conducted it in the inaugural concert of the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra in 1896. That its attractions continue to captivate the listening public both at home and in the concert hall is a tribute to Dvorák’s extraordinary ability to read his audience.
