Symphony no. 2 / Overture “My Home”

Album by Antonín Dvořák & Česká filharmonie & Libor Pešek

Symphony No. 2 is an early orchestral work by Czech composer Antonín Dvořák, completed in 1865, while the overture "My Home" (Op. 62) was composed in 1882 as part of incidental music for the play "Josef Kajetán Tyl" by František Ferdinand Šamberk. The overture incorporates the melody of "Kde domov můj" ("Where is my home?"), which later became the Czech national anthem, reflecting Dvořák's patriotic sentiments and his ability to blend folk elements with classical forms.
