Symphony No. 8 / Scherzo capriccioso

Album by Antonín Dvořák & The Cleveland Orchestra & Christoph von Dohnányi

Symphony No. 8 and the Scherzo capriccioso are orchestral works by Czech composer Antonín Dvořák, completed in 1889 and 1883 and premiered in 1890 and 1884 respectively. Both pieces exemplify Dvořák's late-Romantic style, combining lyrical, folk-inflected melodies with vivid orchestration and classical forms, and the symphony forms part of his mature orchestral output illustrating his engagement with Czech musical elements.
