The New World Symphony is a work that has always fascinated Krzysztof Urbanski: \"It was only when I studied Dvorák’s other symphonies that I came to understand the principal characteristic and strength of the Ninth: simplicity. I wanted to dig deeper, and so I examined the manuscript and parts used for the New York premiere. There I discovered things that changed my view of it, like the fact that the first four bars of the third movement shouldn’t be played on the repeat. That gives them a completely different meaning when they recur at the da capo . . . The coupling, the rare Hero’s Song, shows an entirely different side of Dvorák. The way he transforms the initial four-note motif to evoke so many varied feelings, from joy to tragedy, shows his immense compositional mastery.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alpha","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":49309926555928,"sku":"3760014192692","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/3545745_f2b0c404-9a77-49d7-b428-126725fd9c27.jpg?v=1777799872","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/dvorak-symphony-no-9-from-the-new-world-a-heros-song","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
