Symphony no. 9 "From the New World" / Symphonic Variations

Album by Antonín Dvořák & Koninklijk Concertgebouworkest & London Symphony Orchestra & Sir Colin Davis

Symphony No. 9 "From the New World" and the Symphonic Variations are orchestral works by Czech composer Antonín Dvořák, composed in 1893–1894 and 1877 respectively. The Ninth Symphony exemplifies late-Romantic orchestral writing with expansive melodies and influences drawn from North American and folk sources during Dvořák's time in the United States, while the earlier Symphonic Variations highlights his command of thematic transformation and orchestral colour, marking key stages in his development as a Romantic-era composer.
