Just played this piece tonight in a lovely concert at a small university in North Georgia USA - Piedmont University. I had never heard of the piece before, but it is chocked full of Dvorakisms and I absolutely loved playing it! And this performance is absolutely gorgeous! Bravissimo! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Bassoonist here, fyi 🫶🏾

I still can';t believe TO THIS DAY how much Antonin Dvorak evoked every bit of the Czech spirit in everything that he ever wrote and that includes all nine of his great symphonies. He was truly a Czech nationalist okay.

[@steveschwieterman9109]

Especially in Symphony # 8. Movement 2 makes me think I am in the Bohemian countryside. The rest is also a melodic excursion to a dramatic ending.

[@CosmoConstant]

This feels like a picturesque train ride through Czechia, and we constantly change back and forth between the major line and the minor line.

[@Rx-mn5fv]

Pleasant and easy listening overall. Making no great demands on the listener. Simply entertaining. Thank you for the exposure.

[@billsullivan3920]

What a pleasure to hear a great work played by happy looking musicians. The work is seldom heard outside central Europe. I assume this is a student group, but they play as professionals. Bravo.

[@ltpohunek]

Thank you!

[@michaelrogerson6838]

Very much enjoyed this performance of one of my favourite works by Dvorak.Thank you.

[@rsho963]

Excellent performance by a group so young, and so promising.

[@johnmartin1388]

I absolutely love these lighter 'characteristic' pieces by Dvorak, so beautifully written, and with such an ear for the inner parts of the orchestra Woodwind writing so expressive, and so beautifully played here. Thank you for posting this. John, UK

Many thanks for sharing, Maestro Lukas. First time I've heard, though I've been a fan of Dvorak for years. Wonderful performances!

Sehr frische und jugendliche Aufführung dieses verborgenen Meisterwerks mit relativ langsamen Tempi und angenehmer Dynamik. Danke fürs einteilige Hochladen der ganzen Suite!

[@2000VIOLINO]

Dvorak, siempre hace el contraste del lento, nostalgico, al rápido furioso, su música es pasión que de la calma explota con brío.

[@marisolsoprano]

My favorite movement the polka :)))))

[@jesusvallejomejia2211]

Surprisingly slow furiant, but very refreshing performance nevertheless.

[@andreashelling3076]

Reminds me of Barhms Serenades in some way

Excellent and sensitive performance. However, it is marred by the young conductor's lack of familiarity with protocol and decorum. You NEVER take a solo bow unless the orchestra gives you a solo bow by applauding and refusing to stand - and this usually happens after several bows with the orchestra musicians. The conductor asks the orchestra to rise to acknowledge the initial applause at the end of a piece of music before he/she turns to the audience. These may seem like minor offenses, but they would be enough to keep a talented conductor from being reengaged by a serious professional orchestra. No orchestra wants to deal with a narcissist.

[@pleatedskirt18]

+Andrew Zaplatynsky I'm afraid we are all human, and if he is inexperienced then he is still learning. As the age-old adage goes, ''he who never makes a mistake, never makes anything''.

[@billsullivan3920]

+Andrew Zaplatynsky Protocol has apparently changed without Andrew Zaplatynsky knowing it. I am still looking on KZbin for a conductor NOT taking a solo bow before their concert. You seem to have some motive in your message, but we missed it. This conductor answers the applause from the audience with a short bow. This is the protocol.

[@andrewzaplatynsky4556]

I base my opinion on 43 years of experience with major orchestras in the USA and Europe. For 30 of those years I was a concertmaster.

[@JonathanMoser93]

The only thing I wonder is if this was a conducting recital? I have seen this kind of protocol when conducting students are performing their recitals. This would be the only reason I can use to justify?
