Symphony no. 8 in G major, op. 88 / Symphony no. 9 in E minor, op. 95 “From the New World”

Album by Antonín Dvořák & The Cleveland Orchestra & George Szell

Symphony No. 8 in G major, Op. 88 and Symphony No. 9 in E minor, Op. 95 "From the New World" are orchestral works by Antonín Dvořák, composed in 1889 and 1893 respectively. They exemplify late-Romantic orchestral writing, combining lyrical melodies and folk-influenced motifs with rich, colourful orchestration, and they mark a mature phase in Dvořák's career that juxtaposes Bohemian national elements in the Eighth with the incorporation of American-inspired themes and expansive symphonic gestures in the Ninth following his time in the United States.
