The Spectre's Bride

Album by Antonín Dvořák & Westminster Symphonic Choir & New Jersey Symphony Orchestra & Joseph Flummerfelt & Zdeněk Mácal

The Spectre's Bride is a cantata by Czech composer Antonín Dvořák, composed in 1884. The work employs Romantic-era choral and orchestral forces with folk-inflected melodies, dramatic narrative writing for soloists and chorus, and occupies a place in Dvořák's output as a large-scale vocal composition that links his nationalist influences with his developing symphonic voice.
