Antonin Dvorak: MP3 Recordings

Two Humoresques and a Slavonic Dance

Dvorak famously owes his international fame to Brahms who spotted his potential and recommended him to his Berlin publisher. He was an established orchestral player and composer in Prague working with people like Smetna. He is particularly remembered for his orchestral works including symphonies and the sublime cello concerto as well as his choral and operatic scores. The Dvorak MP3 recordings we have here include a couple of jaunty examples from the Humoresques contrasted with an emotional Slavonic dance which illustrates his commitment to the development of Czech national culture from its folklore roots. Steel drums, synthesizers and harps bring new light to these musical gems.

Why not compare these Dvorak MP3 Recordings with some by Beethoven, Brahms and Haydn - the impact of this approach on music of particular composers can be most distinctive.
