Dvořák’S New World - Evan Lewis
Composed just six months after Dvořák arrived in New York to become Director of the National Conservatory of Music in Manhattan, his Ninth Symphony has a dual musical personality. Some, including Dvořák himself, claim it has an American flavour to it, even going so far as to claim echoes of Native and African American spirituals and worksongs.
Others still hear Dvořák’s native Bohemia, and the Old World for which he was homesick. Its rich melodies perfectly evoke the melting pot of New York at the turn of the century.
QSO’s Artist-in-Association, soprano Nina Korbe joins for Holst’s lusciously Romantic The Mystic Trumpeter, a gorgeous setting of Whitman texts. The program is completed by Beethoven’s grand Leonore Overture No.3, his third of four attempts at writing the curtain raiser for his only opera, Fidelio.
