Composer: Antonín Dvorák
Artists: Janácek Philharmonic Orchestra, Theodore Kuchar (conductor)
Nearing the end of the International Dvorak-year Brilliant Classics has a surprise in store: an brand-new recording of the complete Symphonic Poems and Overtures of the great Czech master. After his hugely successful 9-th symphony Dvorak didn’t attempt to write another symphony. Instead he let himself be inspired by the rich Czech folklore, which resulted in symphonic poems based on Czech legends and fairytales: programmatic music with more than a hint of Wagner.
Excellent performances by one of the most underestimated orchestras of Czech Republic: the Janacek Philharmonic Orchestra from Ostrava, here recorded under the inspiring direction of Theodore Kuchar, award-winning conductor, notably known for his many recordings on the Naxos label.

Czech Suite, Op. 39:
00:00:00 I. Preludium (pastorale)

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!
I was a first violinist in the Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra under Kuchar. He always added precision, energy and expression to any piece he conducted. Kuchar was always at his very best leading anything slavic, as in this recording.
:-))))....WOWW, tremendous experience for you, Chuck!! Most impressive!!
Thanks.
Nice work, balls.

He is incredible, this sounds wonderful!
Dvorak is one very underrated composer. He and Smetana - both deserve more exposure and acclaim.
And Janacek.
I like Qwerty more.
How are they underrated, and compared to whom?
By exposure, radio and other media, and by comparison to their fellow Romantic era composers, whose names are household words.
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.
It's beautiful Czech culture - Dvorak's extraordinary music. Greetings from Romania.
Sandoz Pop -- .....and from San Agustinillo, Oaxaca.....BRAVI TUTTI!
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.
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.
Like the first light of dawn, these musics opens your eyes to new promises and to all the wonders of nature. Evocative of powers beyond observation, these pieces pull the strings of the heart, attract nostalgia and awaken the loves, the skinned lives and torpor of sleeping watchmen🎼🎼🎼🎼
I don't know why I never heard much of Dvorak's work before, But now that I heard a glimpes I'll go ahead to listen other works of him.
Dvorak is greatly underplayed in my opinion. Thanks for this wonderful download with a terrific orchestra. Brilliant Classics.
What a lovely early morning surprise.
Thank you for uploading this beautiful collection of the works of Dvorak.
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.
Listening to Dvorak is a pleasure
The world is full of things we don't know,
but we know Dvorak is great, and his works are irreplaceable
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.
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!
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.
@@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.

If he makes you think of American wilderness, it is mainly because each and every American composer of OST copy his style when it comes to underline beautiful landscapes. Just watch any movie shot in American west and listen, youll see what I mean.
This disc set is what made me a fan of Brilliant Classics and Mr. Kuchar. The sound mixing was so natural and well-balanced, and his conducting told me and my humble classical music appreciating ears that there was spirit and life in this music compared to other renditions. I don't know how many times i have listened to Noon Day Witch; my favourite of all Dvorak's symphonic poems and thanks to BC, the definitive version by Kuchar.
What can be said of Dvorak what has not been said! One of the most brilliant Composer of his time! Love him!
Greetings from Denmark
Dvorak is one of my favorite composers. Unfortunately he is very underrated. I thinks his greatness equals Brahms'.
@@maumusa123 I don't quite agree with that. Brahms was a genius in his own right and so was Dvorak! However I do love Dvorak!
I love his Slavonic Dances. On my list of favorite classical pieces.
I actually do not care for Brahms. None of his works are on my favorites list. So I think Dvorak is BETTER than Brahms. 🤦♀️
Of course I am an idiot so my opinion does not matter. 🤦♀️
@@rollothecat2010 please don't call yourself an idiot. Just realize everyone has their own choice or favourite and I will always respect others for their individual preferable Composer's.
Absolutely wonderfull music. Like a fusion of Bach Suites and Beethoven Pastorale.
The great antonin ❤
Dvorak realy is one of the great composers ❤
Carnival Ouverture simply fantastic, they are like fireworks in musical notes. It's really enthralling.
I LOVE DVORAK ' S MUSIC !!!!!.......
Thanks, amazing Dvorak Symphonic Poems Overtures music tune. Sounds good n light, very delightful n peaceful to listen, best for relaxing the mind n heart. Wonderful lovely piece!Infinite love!🙏🎶
Thank you for this post---the conductor and orchestra are superb!
The comfort of this music is irreplaceable
This is pure bliss ... Thank you once again, Brilliant Classics !
Spectacular performance of the "Noon Day Witch" that I have ever heard.
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.
Qwe poi ti ha
This is lovely music, beautifully performed and recorded. Applause again for Brilliant Classics.
Great to hear these Symphonic poems/ Overtures again after all these years.
I have some of them on very early cassette with Kertesz conducting the LSO.
However the Janacek Philharmonic handle it superbly. Dvorak is a gem comp'
After listening to Dvorak's music it became the most favourite for me
We appreciate that!
@@BrilliantClassics I also offer you to upload classical ukrainian music (Lysenko, Leontovych, Ludkevych and other) because it is also greatful, beautiful and impressive. I'll thank you very much if you start to do it)
D'vorak was a phenomenal great composer! who to me was very unappreciated".
how wonderful is this music !! it healed my eye pain and headaches !! and it lifted me up thank you very much for this wonderful upload
What a great composer, so underrated!
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.
@@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).
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.

Estoy muy entusiasmado con la música de Dvorak desde que escuché , a mis treinta años la sinfonía del nuevo mundo hoy he escuchado estos preciosos poemas sinfónicos que despiertan en mí sentimientos de paz, libertad y esperanza, como dice Blanca de Lourdes. “Cuál gotas de agua en el interior del espíritu.” Gracias Brillant Classics por compartirlo.
Beautiful
Stupenda raccolta con l'ottima esecuzione dell'orchestra ceca.
Un ottimo post.Grazie mille.
Fabulous music!
BEAUTIFUL AND AMAZING
Magnificent! Beautiful! I love this. Thank You.
Great to hear, glad you enjoyed the video!
Dvorak maestro
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!
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!
this peace is amazing
Piece! Good bless.
Thanks for uploading!
Home Overture around 30:00 is clearly a variation on the Czech National Anthem, Where Is My Home. I never realized that he composed something of the sort.
Bellísimo
Wonderful music 🎶🎶🎶💐
Thanks you, this is great set.
This is so brilliant!
BUENOS Días A LA VIDA, AL AMOR A LA ESPERANZA!!! Lo remite a uno al mundo de los recuerdos en familia, a un campo florecido, olor a hierba, amanecer. luminoso y a los primeros rayos de sol.
Gracias infinita a ti y a Dvorak...

The Preludium (pastorale) is so beautiful!
Sencillamente magnífico!!!!!
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. Cabe destacar la belleza de su armonía que proliferan los pensamientos de paz y de esperanza, en estos tiempos tan conmocionados.
This is so relaxing. Thanks for the upload.
Nádherná hudba 😀
El primer preludio pastoral es simplemente un deleite musical, no puedo evitar imaginar un paisaje onírico donde reina la bonanza y el olvido de todo lo terreno, es como el soñar despierto de un niño que ve hadas y se siente el rey del mundo por haber derrotado un dragón imaginario. Simplemente te hace sentir satisfecho y agradecer por estar vivo para poder contemplar una de las mayores maravillas del universo, que es el hecho de haber creado organismo multicelulares capaces de distinguir las vibraciones en el aire e interpretarlas como sonido.
Es lo mismo que sentí al oírlo. Admirable su espléndido uso del lenguaje . Fantásticas escenas que se quedan en nuestro banco de memorias inolvidables por el resplandor que irradian en su incomparable combinación de variables que causan esos viajes dimensionales, al mismo tiempo . Gracias por compartirlo. Le correspondo en su Gozo Divino! 👏👏👏♥️
Belleza pura
Absolutamente épico y maravilloso. Amo a este hombre.
Opus 109 is my favourite. I listen to it often. I am not very familiar with the other symphonic poems though I have heard some of them before, especially those inspired by folklore and thus named.
Belle interprétation, dans une excellente acoustique. Coup de coeur pour l'Opus 110, "La Colombe Sauvage"
Non so perché, ma verso la musica di Dvorak vi è ancora un certo ostracismo da parte della musicologia falsamente progressista e dominante; essa è, semplicemente, bellissima e GENIALE!

28:20 what a sneak peek, if you know you know. Tears in my eyes
If you listen more closely, you'll find out that almost the whole overture is in fact variations on that tune. It could be called "Where is my home overture" :)

Pena que músicas clássicas são muito pouco divulgadas no Brasil. Lamentável!....Só radio Mec Fm para nos salvar...
No solo en Brasil. En México nos pasa lo mismo. You tube es la salvación.
... resultante fundamental das doutrinas escravistas impostas pelas esquerdas marrxistas nas escolas brasileiras...what a shame ! algo do "sprit" slavônico se percebe nas entrelinhas ... Bedrich ?
En el Perú tenemos Radio Filarmonía, desde hace 37 años, Es una emisora sin fines de lucro, que trasmite la música de los grandes maestros, las 24 horas.
Você pode fazer assim: ao invés de achar uma pena, aproveite as tantas plataformas a seu dispor e torne-se divulgador da música que gosta.
@@mildredgustackdelambre7935 Bitch, nem tudo de ruim que acontece no Brasil é culpa do suposto comunismo que nunca existiu neste país. De fato, quem nunca pensou em educar as massas para apreciar música e arte foram as elites direitistas e conservadoras que insistem em delegar a si mesmas os lugares privilegiados da cultura e permanecer neste posição de poder determinar quem entra e quem não entra neste mundo e quem pode e quem não pode apreciar dos bens culturais. Mas tomaram na cara porque suas filhinhas e filhinhos adoram rebolar a bunda ao som do funk da periferia.
As might have been said on American Bandstand, "It's God a great beat, and you can dance to it."

I’m interested in purchasing this, after hearing this video. Lovely performances. Can you tell me something about the packaging of this set? Jewel cases? Heavy box with CDs in thin sleeves?
You can try, but it may not be within your budget. Check it out.
Theres one on amazon right now for $12.99
@@jeuxdeau2009 They aren’t hard to find, but I would still like to know something about the packaging. I much prefer the box with sleeves over jewel cases. @Brilliant Classics hasn’t answered yet.
@@LyleFrancisDelp the one i received was an immaculate used copy. It was a jewel case, the classic big box where it opens and you see the one disc, then the rear side opens to show the 2 other discs (and i think there was a small booklet too - i am not sure now about this booklet from memory; set is back home and missing it dearly). 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. If you see a good-priced copy on amazon or ebay, go for it. I have tried listening to others but found myself craving for these definitive renditions always. :)

Does anyone know how to get in touch with Stephen Scott Johnson? His dissertation, Narrative and form in Dvorak's symphonic poems based on the folk poetry of Karel Jaromir Erben, would be really useful to me for my college assignment. Please help me if you know how to get in touch with him.
Kuchar has talent.
What's the name of the painting?

21:00 The finale that never finalizes. XDDD
Can someone please explain what a "symphonic poem" is? I thought poems are only text...
Yup! A literary poem would be text. A symphonic poem--or tone poem--is a piece of music that is meant to evoke or allude to a non-music source. Franz Liszt was the first to use this term in his compositions--beginning with "Ce qu'on entend sur la montagne" (S.95) which was inspired by a poem with the same title by Victor Hugo.
Not all symphonic poems have to be based on poems. Some are based on landscapes, paintings, oral histories, other literary works, etc. And then Dvorak's symphonic poem "A Hero's Song" isn't specifically based on a work at all but is still intended to tell a story.
@@croiceol Interesting, thank you!
@@eladjohn491 To add to to that there was a reason why composers suddenly started to write them and an entire school of critics was staunchly opposed to the idea.
The school that formed around Liszt, who as you learned, coined the phrase and wrote 13 of them, was trying to expand the expressive possibilities of music after Beethoven.
They felt that music had reached an impass, that you could not simply continue to follow what Beethoven did without repeating old recipies.
So the idea was to look for influences outside of music (which Beethoven pioneered in his 6th Symphony) and write pieces that either very clearly try to tell a story or tries to illustrate the feelings that the composer had when looking at a piece of art or reading a book or poem.
This was met with fierce opposition by other composers and music critics who thought music should be just absolute music. A good example of that is again Beethoven. His "Moonlight Sonata" is in fact absolute music. The title "Moonlight" is not from him, he never said anything about it being inspired by Moonlight. It is just music without a specific inspiration.
But someone else heard the Moonlight in that music, and the title suddenly stuck and now everybody calls it that, even though it was never meant to be called that way.
And the critics of program music (which is what tone poems are) say that such titles needlessly direct the listener into a specific direction, instead of leaving the music just to speak for itself.
Dvorak's tone poems are the kind that actually try to tell the stories they are based on more or less verbatim. This can be most easily observed in "The Noonday Witch" where you can hear the cozy littlle melody, representing the mother going by her daily live, being disturbed by her child represented by the off tune oboe.
Then the music very clearly describes how the mother tries to scare the child into obedience by threatening to call on the Noonday Witch. Then the scene repeats, the mother calls on the witch (in jest again, just to scare the child) but suddenly the Witch really appears and then she begins her spells and one can hear the soaring midday heat in the strings, the pleas of the mother for mercy and how she finally falls unconscious.
Then you hear the father return home, wondering why no one is coming to greet him and then he finds his wife with the dead child in her arms.
All very vividly described through music.
