Slavonic Dances op. 46 & op. 72

Album by Antonín Dvořák & Berliner Philharmoniker & Lorin Maazel

Slavonic Dances Op.46 and Op.72 are sets of orchestral dance compositions by Czech composer Antonín Dvořák, composed in 1878 and 1886 respectively. Rooted in Bohemian and broader Slavic dance rhythms and modes, they feature vibrant rhythmic energy, modal and folk-like melodies and colourful orchestration, and mark a key moment in Dvořák's career when he translated folk influences into concert repertoire for a wider European audience.
First released: 1997
