Symphony no. 8 / Carnival Overture

Album by Antonín Dvořák & Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra & London Philharmonic Orchestra & Enrique Bátiz

Symphony No. 8 / Carnival Overture is an album of orchestral works by Czech composer Antonín Dvořák, comprising a symphony completed in 1889 and an overture completed in 1891. The music is rooted in late Romantic orchestration and national melodic elements, with lush textures and lively rhythmic drive, and it appears near the end of Dvořák's middle period where he balanced folk influences with larger symphonic forms.

First released: 1987
