Slavonic Dances

Album by Antonín Dvořák & Česká filharmonie & Václav Neumann

Slavonic Dances are two sets of orchestral compositions by Czech composer Antonín Dvořák, composed in 1878 (Op.46) and 1886 (Op.72). Rooted in Bohemian and other Slavonic folk rhythms and dance forms, they employ lively syncopations, strong rhythmic drive and colourful orchestral textures, and mark a shift in Dvořák's incorporation of nationalistic folk elements into his concert music.

First released: 1985
