About

This recording by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and Music Director Marin Alsop is the first of three discs of Dvořák symphonies taken from live performances at the Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall.

The most popular of all Dvořák’s works, Symphony No.9 ‘From the New World’ makes an immediate appeal by virtue of a seemingly inexhaustible flow of melody and sparkling orchestration.

Based on a melody he had composed earlier for men’s chorus, ‘I am a fiddler’, the Symphonic Variations are one of the composer’s most beautifully crafted and beguiling works.

Certainly the playing here, in Ms. Alsop’s first New York appearance as music director [of the BSO], was excellent…..[Ms Alsop] showed complete control, infectious enthusiasm and canny pacing.” - New York Times concert review
