    Dvorak's Serenade For Strings used to mean so much to me when I was a young man working for the phone company in Boston, Massachusetts. I lived in the city just south of Boston called Quincy. Each day I would take the rapid transit train to work. Almost always I had to stand which was alright. As the morning sun was just coming up on the horizon, I used to sing these melodies in my head each day. Now, I'm an old man of seventy and I haven't heard this piece in forty years! I am so happy that I have found it once again.

      Thank you for sharing that, very moving. Music helps us through so many difficult times in life and even through the monotony of daily life. How wonderful that so many composers have left us such beautiful music as this which will last forever. So glad you found it again and that it makes you happy 😊

    Awesome!! Mr. Dvorak was Czech like me, his music played at my grandad's funeral and one day it will be the last melody played at the end of my days in here. To think he came from a family of butcher to awe people around the world with his incredible passion, sense of harmony and ingenious interpretation of Bohemian folk music transcripted with such incredible lightness into so called classical music. You can hear couple of them in this piece too.

    Marvellous performance! Dvorak was a viola player, and it shows in his writing for strings. It's interesting to note that the principal violist here (Alex Mitchell) now leads the violas of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra. Such incredible talent at the RNCM......

    Bravo to the orchestra and conductor. This is probably my favorite interpretation of the piece based on the chosen tempi and effortless transitions between phrases. One must also commend Dvorak- the first 35 seconds alone are absolutely gorgeous. I don't understand how someone can create something that beautiful...

    What makes me enjoy this performance so much? Let's see... It's possible that the conductor really thought long and hard on his interpretation, or that these musicians are the cream of the crop, or that they worked a very hard on this piece, or that Dvorak knows how to write flatteringly for stings. Which? Well, let's say all are true, in which case, (a) these people should make more videos, (b) the conductor had better be a tenured professor (or someone will steal him), (c) we are persuaively reminded of the value of practice/rehearsal time, and (d) I need to investigate more of Dvorak's chamber and ensemble music for strings. (And by the way, the best musicians are the ones who compel listener to think to themselves, "Golly, have I underestimated this composer?") Many thanks, Maestro and musicians!

      I agree with both of you that Dvorak is great. He is wonderful at writing serenades, If you haven't tried his "Serenade for Wind Instruments, Cello and Double Bass", you should try the one with Michael Collins of the London Winds. It's beautiful just like this one.

    @johnreid3259 Před 4 lety +2

    There is so much to admire about this, I find it all but incomprehensible that 144 individuals could dislike either the music or the performance. Dvorak's writing has a melodic spell, a lyricism that very few other composers can ever match, and the predominantly youthful ensemble under the baton of an experienced conductor has provided me with something quite memorable. It would have been a great pleasure to be there to hear it live. Bravo!

    The Larghetto has been used to great effect as illustrative music for a documentary called 'In Search of the Northern Lights' with Joanna Lumley. It's not just a documentary, but a work of beautiful art. Dvorak, Grieg and other composers provide a sublime score for the hour long film. It really gives the music a dramatic and wonderful backdrop.

    This piece is so wonderful. I just love it indescribably.
    It touches me deeply in my soul, gives me hope, strength and courage, but also makes me think and understand how my own life is finite, that means more specifically, just like with many other things, that it is temporarily limited.
    I would like to say about the local orchestra that the way the ladies and gentlemen play this great piece here really seems empathetic and competent, although the second word seems a bit out of place. I've heard this piece from several orchestras. But none of them was, and I want to be honest, as impressive, harmonious in the performance as this one from the UK.
    That means, if I were to summarize my top 5 world orchestras, the RNCM would definitely be there in this list. So I want to say a huge, serious thank you to the local orchestra and, of course, its conductor.
    That I was allowed to see and hear something like that here, which inspires me in every way, gives me hope, strength and courage, but also the awareness of the current reality, fills me with gratitude and pride.
    I wholeheartedly wish you all, wherever you are, all the best. Everyone, stay healthy and take good care of yourself.

    www.antonin-dvorak.cz; composition history and general characteristics
    The Serenade for Strings in E major was completed within a fortnight in the spring of 1875. Its atmosphere reflects an auspicious time in the composer’s life: Dvorak was enjoying his first successes on the concert platform, and he had also succeeded in acquiring a state scholarship for the first time. The work is a document of the composer’s exceptional sense of small forms. In five short movements, clearly constructed around a three-part song form, he exposes solid thematic material with the aid of rich imagery. The music of the Serenade flows easily and naturally with a sense of immediacy, its character idyllic and peaceable. A typical trait of the composition is its frequent imitation of themes in various voices; Dvorak reinforces the cyclical nature of the form by quoting the main theme of the first movement before the coda of the final movement. The Serenade in E major is one of the composer’s most popular and most frequently performed works.
    premiere, subsequent performances and publication
    Back in the summer of 1875 viola player in the Vienna Philharmonic Alois Alexander Buchta attempted to include the Serenade in the programme of one of the orchestra’s concerts, but to no avail. Dvorak was still unfamiliar in Vienna at that time. The premiere of the work, held on 10 December 1876 at Prague’s Zofin, was such a success that the Serenade was immediately put forward again for the programme of the following Slavonic Concert, as it was known. Soon afterwards it was presented in Brno on 22 April 1877 by Leos Janacek. That same year, on the initiative of music critic Vaclav Vladimir Zeleny, a group of Dvorak’s friends got together to raise money for the publication of the piano score of the Serenade with Prague publisher Emanuel Stary. The full score and parts were published in 1879 by Berlin publisher Bote & Bock. Dvorak thought very highly of the Serenade and so, in 1877, he enclosed it with his fourth application for a state scholarship. He conducted the work himself six times: for the first time in August 1877 in Lipnik nad Becvou (the first documented instance of the composer as conductor), then in Prague on 17 November 1878, in Chrudim on 24 April 1879, in Mlada Boleslav on 27 October and subsequently in Prague on 17 April 1887 and 13 October 1894.
    period press review
    From a review of the premiere of Dvořák's Serenade in E major by the music critic Ludevít Procházka in Národní listy, 16 December 1876:
    Antonín Dvořák gave us a pleasant surprise with his serenade for string orchestra, showing decisive progress in the evolution of his artistic development towards greater stability and independence. It would indeed be difficult for us to decide which of the movements would deserve the prize. They are all so interesting in overall thought conception and in thematic work, and also clear in their overall design, that they will surely be received as favourably everywhere as each of them was on this occasion. Dvořák's great and very uncommon gift deserved that the path be blazed for it into the large musical world, and we have no doubt that with works like this, whose real artistic value cannot be denied in any way, he will also find greater favour everywhere than for example in our conservatoire, which turns its nose up at our domestic composers.

    This is strange. You've cited three different orchestras, one of them an unexplained acronym. Can you please state who RNCM are, confirm if they are the ensemble playing and explain why there are references to"Orchestre des Pays de Savoie" and "Martin in the Fields"?
