Symphonie No 9 Opus 95 "Du Nouveau Monde" / "New World"

Album by Antonín Dvořák & Alain Lombard & Orchestre philharmonique de Strasbourg

Symphony No. 9 in E minor, Op. 95, 'From the New World' is the ninth symphony by Czech composer Antonín Dvořák, composed in 1893 during his stay in the United States. The work blends Czech folk-influenced melodies with elements drawn from American spirituals and indigenous music within a late-Romantic orchestral idiom, and it represents a key point in Dvořák's output where he synthesised European symphonic tradition with influences encountered during his American period.
