We played this in our symphony last year. It was the most moving piece I have ever played. Our conductor had tears streaming down his face, as did most of our players.
If not, I highly recommend it. There are very few pieces that I like as much. Herbert von Karajan conducts what I and many other feel is the definitive version of the cello concerto, with Mstislav Rostropovich on cello.
Yes the New World meaning America. He was influenced by the music of the Americas particulary his interest in African-American spirituals and Native American music. For example Mov. II Largo the English Horn solo is exactly the theme for the African-American Spiritual "Goin' Home". This is my favorite of all time. He was such an amazing composer.
The violin solo section is a very delicate one (time between 1:25-2:00). The main theme is crying & so sad. The music actually chokes & sobs between the time 1:44 to 2:00. The timing is very critical, to stop & restart. I think this is the reason the soloist has to watch the conductor to be complete in sync with the mood. This section is the most moving part of the movement. I sometime found my eyes wet after I listen to this section.
Herbert von Karajan was probably the best conductor ever, i feel though that ol Sir George Solti was a close second........ Too bad i am so unfamiliar with the young conductors out there....... thanks for posting
it is generally considered that, like other Dvořák pieces, the work has more in common with folk music of his native Bohemia than with that of the United States
Antonin Leopold Dvorak (1841-1904) passed away over 100 years ago. i doubt a corpse can compose anything. So you are going to be sad for the rest of your life unless you can get to the music store and pick up all of his compositions on cd. Then you will be happy again.
@jason101other every race or region has its own musical system. the European civilization is widely recognized not because it's more superior but because it's more aggressive than the others.
@LivingintheShire Herbert von Karajan joined the Nazi Party in 1933, most likely to advance his budding career. According to Wikipedia, he married a 'quarter-Jew' during WWII, so racial thinking wasn't behind his joining, I'd say.
SOrry, but I must disagree, try to discover his other work - opera ( Jakobin, Rusalka ), other compositions ( I like very much Humoreska , Slovanske tance ) and you will realize he is definitely not one-piece-composer.
I loved how Herbert Von Karajan not only conducted the music but felt the music when he was conducting. Great piece, and i love the piece on piano
This opne of the most amazing peices I've ever witnessed before!
Great and great performance! I can hear all sound clearly and even listen the emotion of Dvorak. Herbert von Karajan, he was a real conductor.
Is the most beautiful music !

Karajan the best.......
¡Karajan! sin palabras.

1:25-2:00. There is nothing I can think of which makes me as happy as this.

From 2:13 - 3:10 ... this is so wonderful and touching...
1:42 my heart just paused. Absolute stillness.
the trombones at 3:10 are veryyy powerful, very well written
yes! i listen to the quintet like once a week it seems like. have you heard his cello concerto?

One of my favorite pieces, since I listened to it.
Bernstein on Sony is my first choice.

Karajan is awesome!
we play this in my orchestra...fun piece...
Those are some powerful looking eyes
Please tell me that they send this symphony recorder on the voyager spacecraft....that would make me proud to be human :)
I totally agree!
Die Geige spielt sehr schön.
I love Dvorak (L)
The orchestra looks a little nerdy, but they sure sound incredible!! ;-)
wow amazing song. but is the conductor Herbert von Karajan dead?
Forever associated with a future village in Shin Sekai Yori~ From the New World.

Erm... composing is, ideally, 'using feelings in heart to compose'...
Yes, his music was based off his travel to the USA.
Some fair is better not to put into words
@jason101other every race or region has its own musical system. the European civilization is widely recognized not because it's more superior but because it's more aggressive than the others.
@datasupa he was born 1841. Give him a break ;-)
Herbert von Karajan died in 1989
Dvorak is a "one-work-composer" but the work is pretty good
@throwindembows for me it is up to 2:10 ;-)
english horn all the way across the sky.
3:09 go trombones
@gperfect5th Was
lousy audio quality, there are better recordings on youtube

that isn't acting

@gperfect5th He was nazi,not a composer!!
lol probably because he's been dead for about 100 years
