Symphony no. 7 in D minor / Symphony no. 8 in G major
Album by Antonín Dvořák & London Symphony Orchestra & Antal Doráti
Symphony No. 7 in D minor and Symphony No. 8 in G major are orchestral symphonies by Czech composer Antonín Dvořák, composed in 1885 and 1889 respectively. Both works blend Late Romantic orchestral textures with motifs derived from Czech folk music, the Seventh presenting a more dramatic, expansive approach while the Eighth favours buoyant melodies and classical forms, and together they represent key developments in Dvořák's middle-period symphonic writing.
First released: 1992
