Obra: The Spectre's Bride (Svatební kosile), Op.69

The orchestral writing proves to be the main point of interest in a rousing performance of Dvořák's rare dramatic cantata.

In the ballad, a lovelorn maiden is finally reunited with her dead lover, who immediately tries to trick her into a midnight wedding at a graveyard after dragging her through muddy swamps filled with ghosts and howling animals.
