Symphony no. 1 "The Bells of Zlonice" / The Hero's Song, Symphonic Poem, op. 111

Album by Antonín Dvořák & Royal Scottish National Orchestra & Neeme Järvi

Symphony No. 1 in C minor and the symphonic poem Op. 111 are orchestral works by Czech composer Antonín Dvořák, composed in 1865 and 1883 respectively. Musically they draw on Romantic-era idioms with expressive, folk-inflected melodies, varied orchestral textures and dramatic contrasts, the symphony reflecting Dvořák's early experimentation with large-scale form while the later symphonic poem demonstrates his move towards more programme-driven orchestration and thematic transformation.
