Symphonies Nos. 8, 9

Album by Antonín Dvořák & Symfonický orchestr hlavního města Prahy FOK & Charles Mackerras

Symphonies Nos. 8 and 9 are orchestral works by Czech composer Antonín Dvořák, completed in 1889 and 1893 respectively. They display Dvořák's fusion of Bohemian folk-inspired melodies with classical symphonic forms and rich orchestration, with the Ninth reflecting American-influenced elements from his time in the United States and illustrating his engagement with international influences in his later career.
