An evocation of both the sweep of the American landscape and Midwestern pastoral simplicity.

We Say...
In 1892, Dvorak was lured from his native Bohemia to New York City with an offer of a lucrative post as director of the newly-established National Conservatory of Music. Though he stayed in America only a couple years, he spent summers in a small town in Iowa, drinking in the atmosphere of the recently-settled rural Midwest. His final symphony, broad, vigorous, evoking both the sweep of the American landscape and Midwestern pastoral simplicity, was inspired by these visits. Dvorak incorporated the style of African-American folksong into his symphony, recreating it so sensitively that the spiritual-like melody in the slow movement was later fitted out with words and sung as “Goin’ Home.” Conductor Mariss Jansons’ performance, a study in vivid contrasts, takes the full measure of the work’s explosiveness and lyricism, sweetness and strength.
