Antonin Dvořák’s phenomenal Symphony No. 9 »From the New World« is the fruit of life experience. The symphony would become his most popular and successful, and it made the name Dvořák famous around the world. Dvořák combined innovative, American-hued themes with the composition technique he had perfected in his earlier symphonies. His »American experience« provided a completely new kind of inspiration for the great composer’s work. In the symphonic cycle »Ma vlást« (My Fatherland), Bedřich Smetana, who is known as the »father of Czech national music«, celebrates his native land. Today, everyone is familiar with the affectionate musical drawing »The Moldau«, which portrays the Moldau (Vlatva) River as it winds through the magical landscape of Bohemia.
