About the album

Dvorak’s Symphony No.8 is a symphony that marks Dvorak’s first proper venture into the profusion of ideas and effects that, after the Ninth Symphony, became his home ground as a composer.

Symphony No.9, ‘From the New World’, received a rapturous reception at its Carnegie Hall premiere, a reception, which has been repeated thousands of times across the globe. Enjoy an extraordinary performance of two of Dvorak’s best known symphonies, beautifully performed by Japan’s leading symphony orchestra.

The Sapporo Symphony Orchestra is based in the Sapporo Concert Hall “Kitara” which boasts some of the finest acoustics in the world. The orchestra is distinguished by its clear sound and dynamic powers of expression, and has received glowing accolades from around the world.

"The lovely passage (tr 2, 3'00'') where the woodwind melody is accompanied by delicate descending scales on the strings is exquisitely done ... The finale is then measured and clean-cut with dramatically extreme dynamic contrasts ... the Largo with its haunting cor anglais melody is refined, with exceptionally clean textures ... Clarity of texture is again an outstanding quality of the last two movements ... Altogether an excellent disc, generously filled" Gramophone

Buitengewoon prachtige uitvoering van de bekendste symfonieën van Dvořák
Dvořáks Achtste Symfonie is een symfonie die Dvořáks eerste echte stap in de overvloed van ideeën en effecten markeert, die na de Negende Symfonie zijn territorium werd als componist. De Negende Symfonie ‘Uit de Nieuwe Wereld’, werd hartstochtelijk ontvangen tijdens de première in Carnegie Hall, een ontvangst die zich duizenden keren over de hele wereld herhaalde.

Met dit album kunnen luisteraars genieten van een buitengewone uitvoering van twee van Dvořáks bekendste symfonieën, op prachtige wijze uitgevoerd door het vooraanstaande Japanse symfonieorkest.

Het Sapporo Symphony Orchestra is gehuisvest in de Sapporo Concert Hall “Kitara” die in het trotse bezit is van de voortreffelijkste akoestiek ter wereld. Het orkest onderscheidt zich door zijn heldere klank en dynamische uitdrukkingskracht en heeft enthousiaste eerbetuigingen van over de hele wereld ontvangen.
