San Francisco Symphony Youth Orchestra and Julian Rachlin

О событии

The spirit of this symphony is quintessentially American

The Symphony No. 9, in E Minor 'From the New World' (Op. 95), popularly known as the New World Symphony, was composed by Antonín Dvořák in 1893 during his visit to the United States from 1892 to 1895. It is by far his most popular symphony, and one of the most popular symphonies in the modern repertory.

At the Ninth Symphony's premiere at Carnegie Hall the reception was one of perpetual cheering. The end of every movement was met with thunderous clapping and Dvořák felt obliged to stand up and bow. In a letter to his publisher Simrock he stated how there was 'no getting out of it, and I had to show myself willy‐nilly'.

Enjoy the fascination of the new world!
