Symphonies nos. 6 & 9

Album by Antonín Dvořák & Svenska Kammarorkestern & Thomas Dausgaard

Symphonies Nos. 6 & 9 are orchestral works by Czech composer Antonín Dvořák, composed in 1880–81 and 1893 respectively. They exemplify late-Romantic symphonic writing with robust orchestration and incorporation of Bohemian folk elements, the Sixth drawing on national melodic material and classical formal techniques while the Ninth—written after Dvořák's time abroad—introduces broader thematic gestures and influences from wider musical traditions.
First released: July 2007
