Slavonic Dances, op. 46 & op. 72

Album by Antonín Dvořák & Budapest Festival Orchestra & Iván Fischer

Slavonic Dances, Opp. 46 and Opp. 72 are two sets of dance compositions by Czech composer Antonín Dvořák, composed in 1878 and 1886 respectively. They rework Bohemian and wider Slavic dance rhythms into vivid orchestral textures (also published in piano four‑hands versions), combining lyrical melody, rhythmic vitality and colourful orchestration, and helped establish Dvořák's international profile while promoting Czech musical idioms.
