The "From the New World" symphony, Cello Concerto in B minor, the "American" quartet... A title with such a selection could without the slightest exaggeration bear the designation"The Best of Dvořák". It almost defies belief that all these compositions, which brought Dvořák world fame, were written within a mere three years (1892-95) during his sojourn in America. The music is extremely inspired and profound, perfectly built and immensely amiable for the listener - simply beautiful. It reflects the powerful new sources of inspiration Dvořák discovered inAmerica, yet also echoes homesickness, missing the family and familiar landscape. Josef Suk, the Panocha Quartet, the Czech Philharmonic under Václav Neumann and Jiří Bělohlávek - such names are a guarantee of a profound tradition of performing Dvořák's music.
