About the event 'The Great Classics: "New World" Symphony'

Janusz Piotrowicz  conducts violinist Tasmin Little and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in a performance of truly "Great Classics" at London's famous Royal Albert Hall.

Mendelssohn and his family spent the summer of 1844 in the spa town of Soden, and it was during this happy vacation that he completed his superb Violin Concerto. Although it had occupied him for several years, the finished score sparkles with freshness and spontaneity.

Dvořák completed his Symphony No.9 in America in May 1893, and it was first performed in December of that year. This ‘musical letter from America’ is both a hymn to the New World and a nostalgic longing for home, expressed most powerfully in the exquisite "Goin’ Home" melody of the second movement.
