Streicherserenade op. 22 / Bläserserenade op. 44

Album by Antonín Dvořák & NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester & Hans Schmidt‐Isserstedt

Streicherserenade op. 22 and Bläserserenade op. 44 are two serenades by Antonín Dvořák, composed in 1875 and 1878 respectively. Both works showcase Dvořák's lyrical melodic writing, incorporation of Bohemian folk‑inspired rhythms and clear classical forms, with the Op.22 work highlighting string textures and the Op.44 work exploring wind colours, together marking a transition in his output towards larger‑scale, ensemble‑based writing.
First released: 1964
