Dvořák: Symphony No. 9 "From the New World" — Czech Philharmonic, Jiří Bělohlávek
About this event
Antonín Dvořák (1841-1904) stands alongside Smetana as a founder of the new Czech music. His nine symphonies show Dvořák to be a thoroughly individual and original composer whose symphonic concepts and wealth of musical expression are often surprising, representing a distinctly different engagement with the formal legacy of the nineteenth century from one symphony to the next.
Dvořák's Ninth – his “New World” Symphony – was written during his three-year stay in New York as Director of the National Conservatory of Music of America. The Ninth is undoubtedly his most popular symphonic work. American influences are obvious, but it remains fundamentally Czech.
This production is presented in a special interpretative version in which conductor Jiří Bělohlávek explains how the symphony came to be written and highlights the key musical features of the individual movements (subtitles available in English and German).
