Work: Symphony no. 9 in E minor, "From the New World", Op.95

We take a trip to Antonín Dvořák’s birthplace, the composer summer hideaway Vysoká, and other spectacular cultural destinations in Central Bohemia.

Johannes Brahms was a big supporter of Antonín Dvořák and justly so, for the Czech master, who made it big in America, composed music full of bucolic good humour and Romantic richness. 

The leader of the Czech Philharmonic’s viola section gives us an inside view on performing perhaps the most famous work in all of Czech symphonic repertoire.
