An excellent bargain set in the best Brilliant Classics tradition: the complete symphonies, symphonic poems, overtures and Slavonic Dances of Antonin Dvořák!

The set contains all the symphonic works which made Dvořák one of the best and universally loved romantic composers (and who knew how to write a good tune!): the 9th symphony 'From the New World' (one of the most popular symphonies ever written), the charming Czech Suite, haunting symphonic poems (Noon Witch, The Water Goblin) and the exhilarating complete Slavonic Dances. Music pouring from a warm and fiercely beating heart, in which the folklore of Dvořák’s home country is never far away.

Performing these works is a trio of great ensembles: the Staatskapelle Berlin under their esteemed director of 26 years, Otmar Suitner; the Janáček Philharmonic Orchestra – natural experts in this type of repertoire; and the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra, performing under the baton of Antal Doráti.

The edition is an excellent addition to the Brilliant Classics orchestral catalogue and records a crucial facet of the output of one of Europe’s most famous composers.
