Tonight's Concert will also also feature Dvořák’s most famous symphony, the Ninth, 'From the New World' - a symphony that actually looks back from the USA, to the composer's native Bohemia. From his New York house overlooking Stuyvesant Park, Dvořák appeared to spend much of his time pining for home, rarely going out (unless contractually obliged to) and taking every opportunity to remind himself of home, particularly during the summer, which he spent with the Czech community of Spillville, Iowa. When he premiered this work in Carnegie Hall in 1893, critics disagreed over whether it was an all-American symphony (as he’d promised) or just more of Dvořák’s usual fare. What is certain is that it has lived on its myriad merits ever since, remaining one of the most popular symphonies of all.
