Symphony no. 8 in G major, op. 88 / The Wood Dove, Symphonic Poem, op. 110

Album by Antonín Dvořák & Royal Scottish National Orchestra & Neeme Järvi

This album is a recording of orchestral works by Czech composer Antonín Dvořák, originally composed in 1889 and 1896. Musically it exemplifies late-Romantic orchestration and melodic warmth, combining expansive classical symphonic form with folk‑inflected rhythms and harmonies while the symphonic poem provides programme-driven drama and vivid orchestral colour that together reflect a mature phase in Dvořák’s career bridging Bohemian national idioms and international symphonic practice.
