Symphony no. 9 “From the New World” / The Water Goblin

Album by Antonín Dvořák & Nikolaus Harnoncourt & Koninklijk Concertgebouworkest

Symphony No. 9 'From the New World' and the symphonic poem The Water Goblin are orchestral works by Czech composer Antonín Dvořák, composed in 1893 and 1896 respectively. The Ninth Symphony combines Romantic orchestration with melodies influenced by Dvořák's time in the United States and expansive thematic development, while The Water Goblin employs vivid orchestral colour and programme-driven motifs to depict a Czech folk tale, together illustrating Dvořák's range from large-scale symphonic form to descriptive tone-poetry within late-Romantic Czech music.
