For more than half my adult life (I’m 71) knowing only the “New World” and that only by its best-known tunes, I dismissed Dvorak as a drab European wannabe. Then a chum with whom I played piano duets suggested we work up Dvorak’s Legends and I fell instantly and deeply in love. I just twice listened to all his symphonies under two different conductors and orchestras (thank you, youtube) and just finished these orchestral works. And I know Rusalka along quite intimately with Kate and the Devil. I can say I’ve yet to hear a note that didn’t enthrall and delight me. Děkuji vám!

Dvorak is one very underrated composer. He and Smetana - both deserve more exposure and acclaim.

And Janacek.

[@hungabastahdeluxe3751]

How are they underrated, and compared to whom?

[@StripeRich]

By exposure, radio and other media, and by comparison to their fellow Romantic era composers, whose names are household words.

[@steveyhleung3346]

Their music need you to taste with patient; the sweetness, joy deeply laid in the notes and rhythm. The more you listen to theirs' you'll love them more.

Dvorak and Smetana may be my favorite composer. Or if not they are definitely in my top 7 composers of Classical music. I just love everything about the way Dvorak composes music. From the wonderful waltz melodies to the huge emphasis on the flutes and his folk music influences in general. Dvorak's music is incredibly therapeutic for me, I don't think I could continue going on if his music did not exist.

[@arontesfay2520]

I looked for this music for a long time and funny thing is I found it once I stopped looking for it. Some of the most enchanting music I've ever heard. Same for the piano quintet and some of Dvorak's earlier symphonies.

[@booklover3959]

This composer always makes me think of the American wilderness, especially in his time before a lot of it was cut down. His music seems an expression of nature.

[@mikekarren5010]

So many composers were inspired by "nature". Beethoven, Debussy, Grieg, R. Strauss, Benjamin Britten, etc. The beginning of the first overture reminds me of Beethoven's 6th pastorale symphony. Remember though, Dvorak was the premiere Czech composer, a product of the great Eastern European schools of music! A contemporary of Brahms, Wagner, etc. These overtures have no link to America, just because he captured the spirit of the wild west of the USA, in his 9th (New World) Symphony; doesn't mean ANYTHING else he wrote has that intention. I think it unfair and even disloyal to not look to his beloved homeland to find the spirit and inspiration for his other work!

[@10sDPR]

Dvorak actually spent quite a lot of time in rural Iowa. He even composed an entire symphony while he was there. The museum in Spillville, Iowa documents his journey experiencing "the American wilderness" there.

[@setp2426]

@@10sDPR Yes, true. He came to the US in 1892, well into old age. The last five tracks here come from 1896-7 after his return to the Czech republic. He was terribly homesick his entire stay in the US, which is why he spent so much time in Spillville, where there was a large Czech community. Only the last five tracks come after his stint in the US. While there is undoubtedly some influence from his time in the US, they are more an example of his going back to his roots using Czech folklore.

The Dvorak art is closed to the inspiration of Smetana, the Brahms classism and the optimism through an harmonic and brightness similar to the music of Schubert. These set of Symphonic Poems are true masterpieces that touch us in the deep of our soul. The elegance are amazing and only a genius like Dvorak could written these marvelous and fantastic compositions. The orchestra and the direction are flawless. Thanks for this remarkable and magnificent recording for the true moments of pleasure that provides us. Viva Dvorak and his sublime music.

[@LarsHolmVV46]

Absolutely wonderfull music. Like a fusion of Bach Suites and Beethoven Pastorale.

[@theodentherenewed4785]

These are great musical pieces, the Czech suite and Symphonic Variations are particularly famous, but other tone poems are interesting too. Together with Brahms and Tchaikovsky, Dvorak belongs to the best representatives of late romantic concert music.

[@axelcanu9012]

What a great composer, so underrated!

[@yossipeles7864]

I like his music and agree that it is superb, but I don't think he is underrated. On the contrary, he seems over-played. And as a result, many other excellent composers are underrated and neglected.

[@thomassnider6691]

@@yossipeles7864 I don't agree. Perhaps a couple of pieces of his are played a lot, but they are so good I wouldn't complain. As for other excellent composers not getting their due because someone wants to play The New World Symphony again, who would you name? More Prokofiev perhaps? As for excellent composers, once you get past the first tier of composers into the second tier (which is where I would put Dvorak) the pickings get rather slim, especially after 1950. I do have a fondness for William Grant Still, and John Adams did some excellent work (an exception for my 1950 cut-off date), but all in all much classical music is mundane. It's the nature of culture that certain works stand out, and other composers, fairly or not, get left out. After all, why listen to Telemann when you can listen to Bach? But I get your point: even someone whose music tends to be ordinary (let's say Gustav Holst) can come up with something extraordinary (i.e. The Planets).

[@michaelowens5394]

Hats off to this conductor who made the opening of "My Home" NOT sound like a student's composition exercise. I love Dvorak but that opening has always made me blush slightly on his behalf. Turns out I was listening to the wrong recording.

[@shijoejoseph2011]

This disc set is what made me a fan of Brilliant Classics and Mr. Kuchar.

In My Home Overture op 62 I can hear our Czech antheme! It´s so cool that he was inspired by Czech nation and country so much!

[@basb0y]

uche! That was his whole idea when writing this. He wanted fame, and thought: 'How can I get fame, hmmmm what would be a good idea?' This theme was well known for its patriotism (a Czech hymn wasn't thought of yet) so he used this. And yes!: It was a gigantic hit, uuhm well in Czechia it was. That's one of the reasons the theme later was used in the Czech Hymn. This well before Brahms asked him to write some Czech music, like his Hungarian dances, so well before his world famous Czech Dances. This piece is the first piece that put Dvorák's name in print in multiple papers. Before this piece, there were paper references, but those pieces were paid for by people who just liked that friendly weird music guy. This was the first piece that made people who didn't know him write about him!

[@blancadelourdesmontenegrob5575]

con la quietud de un viento al vuelo, penetra las notas cual gotas de agua en el interior del espíritu para proliferar en una metamorfosis de sentimientos acompasados con dulces melodías.

[@TheRossleo]

Finding pure, authentic performances of the Husitiska has proven quite a challenge. This VERY dramatic work (very spirited, very noisy) is an example of the romantic Dvorák at his most energetic and expressive. The performance here is an outstanding one - Kuchar has really nailed every soar, every swoop, every dive of this colorful piece. Istvan Kertez performed this many years ago and is for me the standard bearer for the Hussite. Kuchar's version is on a par with that one. Thanks for posting.

The audio quality is astounding, as always the case with Brilliant Classics. The copy i was able to purchase was priced decently too. I prefer the cardboard flip-open box with discs in individual cardboard sleeves (i don't like the paper sleeves that the much more rich labels do shamelessly for their 4-5 times high-priced sets compared to BC and Naxos) but i guess, at the time of its release, jewel cases were the standard.
