Dvorák: Symphony No. 9, "From the New World" & American Suit

Antonín Dvorák crowned his symphonic oeuvre with his Ninth Symphony. After its 1893 Carnegie Hall premiere, the symphony went on to acquire worldwide success, and remains one of the most frequently performed of all symphonic works. He opened the ears of musicians and audiences to Indian folklore and the melodic treasury of black Americans. While certain particularities were inspired by Indian music, the work’s themes are all original Dvorák creations. Here, as in the “American Suite”, Robin Ticciati and the Bamberger Symphoniker can be said to have rediscovered the “New World”.
