Symphony no. 9 “From the New World” / A Hero’s Song, op. 111

Album by Antonín Dvořák & NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester & Krzysztof Urbański

Symphony No. 9 "From the New World" and A Hero's Song, Op. 111 are orchestral works by Antonín Dvořák, composed in 1893 and 1897 respectively. The symphony blends Czech melodic elements with influences Dvořák absorbed during his time in America, featuring expansive orchestration and pronounced thematic contrasts, while A Hero's Song is a shorter, rhapsodic orchestral tone poem that emphasises dramatic, march-like passages alongside reflective, lyrical writing as part of the composer's late-romantic output.
