Symphony No. 9 "From the New World" / Scherzo Capriccioso

Album by Antonín Dvořák & The Philadelphia Orchestra & Wolfgang Sawallisch

Symphony No. 9 "From the New World" and the Scherzo Capriccioso are orchestral works by Czech composer Antonín Dvořák, completed in 1893 and 1883 respectively. Both pieces exemplify late-Romantic orchestration and melodic invention, synthesising folk-influenced idioms with rich orchestral colour; the Ninth, written during Dvořák's American sojourn, employs expansive forms and themes suggestive of American and Bohemian influences and occupies a central place in his late oeuvre, while the Scherzo Capriccioso is a more compact, scherzo-driven work characterised by rhythmic energy and dramatic contrasts.
