Sir Simon Rattle & Czech Philharmonic: Dvořák - Slavonic Dance, Op. 72

Rudolfinum, Prague, 2025
Dvořák’s Slavonic Dances were born from words of encouragement: because of his commercial success of the Morovian Duets, the Berlin publisher Fritz Simorck asked him for "something in the manner of Brahms’s Hungarian Dances". Dvořák reacted in a message to Brahms: "Most honoured master! I have been entrusted with writing some Slavic dances for Mr Simrock. Not knowing how to
begin, I tried to lay my hands on your famous Hungarian Dances, and I am taking the liberty of using them as a model for preparing the Slavonic Dances in question". It was a big success and another set of Slavonic Dances was commissioned quite soon. In this recording, we hear a masterful stylisation of the original compositions that are pure Dvořák and celebrate the Bohemian spirit.
