Released on January 1, 2020, under the Digital Revival label, this album offers a comprehensive journey through the composer's mastery of classical, chamber, and orchestral music.
The album opens with Dvořák's iconic Slavonic Dances, a series of lively and rhythmic pieces that showcase the composer's deep connection to his Czech roots.

This three-movement concerto is a testament to Dvořák's skill in composing for the violin, offering a perfect balance between technical virtuosity and emotional depth.

With a total runtime of 1 hour and 42 minutes, this album is a substantial exploration of Dvořák's musical genius. Whether you're a seasoned classical music enthusiast or a newcomer looking to explore the genre, this album offers a rewarding listening experience that showcases the timeless appeal of Antonín Dvořák's compositions.
