Symphony no. 8 / Symphony no. 9 “From the New World”

Album by Antonín Dvořák & The Philadelphia Orchestra & Wolfgang Sawallisch

Symphony No. 8 and Symphony No. 9 "From the New World" are orchestral works by Czech composer Antonín Dvořák, composed in 1889 and 1893 respectively. Both are Late Romantic symphonies characterised by rich orchestration, lyrical folk‑inspired themes and dramatic structural development, with the Ninth reflecting influences Dvořák encountered during his time in the United States and incorporating elements drawn from American musical idioms, together occupying central positions in his mature symphonic output.
