Symphonies 8 & 9

Album by Antonín Dvořák & Berliner Philharmoniker & Herbert von Karajan

Symphonies 8 & 9 are orchestral compositions by Antonín Dvořák, composed in 1889 and 1893 respectively. They exemplify Dvořák's Late Romantic, nationalistic style, pairing folk-inspired, lyrical themes with vibrant orchestration and rhythmic drive, with the Ninth Symphony also showing the influence of American musical elements he encountered during his time in the United States and representing a major moment in his symphonic output.
