Each movement is a journey through Dvořák's unique musical landscape, blending European classical traditions with the rhythms and melodies of the New World.
Performed by the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Roger Norrington, this album captures the essence of Dvořák's genius, offering a profound and engaging experience for classical music enthusiasts.
