I heard this Symphony in a concert of the Houston Symphony on tour in my home town of San Antonio Texas, I was 8 years old. That evening I decided to become a musician. 20 years later I played principal horn in the Vienna Symphony and this wonderful work was on the program. It was an experience that defies description. Of all the orchestral works I was privileged to perform, this will always remain my favorite.... well, maybe next to "Das Lied von der Erde" by Mahler.
I always thought that the opening melody was just the cellos but upon looking at the score, i can see that the clarinets, bassoon, and horns are doubling the cellos. Yet if you listen, they are so well blended with the cellos that you can't tell.
Same. Instruments with a similar colour in unison. If you listen more carefully, you can notice the clarinets, but not the horns and bassoons. Cellos only would sound much weaker.
I like all of Dvořák's first eight symphonies, but musically No 8 is by far the best crafted symphony. His orchestration is fabulous. I have played viola in this piece and the violas have a counter (or 'sub'?) theme under the cellos at the opening of the last movement, beautiful to play underneath the main melody.
@@Killerbee4712 as nice as it is, it relies a little too much on self-quotation without development. At least in my view, it sounds like it's trying to ride on its own coattails a bit. Obviously not every example of old material coming back is bad (the 2nd-movement chords at the end of the finale are amazing), but a lot of them give the piece a sort of 'pot-pourri' feeling. Still a great symphony, though - just a nitpick that pushes it a touch behind this and the 7th (which our dear friend Vince has left out :P).
@@maniak1768 Haha, I thought it was a two set violin reference, they use the word "sacrilegious" a lot and this is one of their favourite symphonies. My bad
La octava sinfonía de Dvorak es para mí la que más me gusta del mundo mundial, ya que ella hay cohabitación de fenómenos tan dispares cono son lo lírico y lo grandioso, lo bucólico y lo vivaz, lo reluciente y lo entrevelado. Todo ello en perfecta armonía hasta el punto de llegar a preguntarme humildemente si tengo dotes para la interpretación. La música a veces arroyuelo, a veces océano discurre sabiamente de manos del compositor imprimiendo a cada momento el matiz preciso. El último movimiento es él en sí una coda desde la primera nota de la fanfarria. Un lujo para los oídos. A disfrutar ❤ 😊
This is one of those pieces I love to listen to either when I'm already in a good mood or when I want to be. It's in a similar class to Brahms' 2nd and Beethoven's 6th and 7th.
I am listening to each of Dvorak's symphonies in turn. I am not sure whether I agree with Gervase Hughes ("Fifty Famous Composers", 1972) when he says, "Structural deficiencies are even more noticeable in symphony no.8 in G major (1889) and no.9 in E minor (1893, 'From The New World'). The first and third movements of the G major are close-knit and attractive, but the second is long-winded, and the finale, which sets forth confidently as though it were to be a theme with variations, ends by chasing its own tail."
Dvorak loved to experiment stuff, this is why the critic always go crazy about him! Like how his piano concerto (aside from being hard for pianist) is more about a conversation between orchestra and piano than a fight like how was common in the concertos of his era!

OMG THANK YOU
Love this thank you so much lmao
31:33 the most extatic peace of music there exists IMO.
Man I wish this comment was here when I performed this in college. 😂
can you tell what is this? i don't know much about music :( i just noticed that there's a variation in these times

What a great observation! How incredibly skilled musicians the Cl/Bn/Hn must be to blend their sounds so discretely into the cellos.
@@ginavingara8393 and the celli, playing together as one (very difficult), then blending with the blow horns.
The celli are doubling the winds, not the other way around.
This is so true!
The first movement is so good! Every instrument has a very important part in the peice!
Also, the 3rd movement is very melodic!
And every can feel important! 😊
Fantastic symphonic work, Dvorak was so good at finding leading motives.
I like all of Dvořák's first eight symphonies, but musically No 8 is by far the best crafted symphony. His orchestration is fabulous. I have played viola in this piece and the violas have a counter (or 'sub'?) theme under the cellos at the opening of the last movement, beautiful to play underneath the main melody.
how bout the 9th?
currently working on it with viola too :)

Well, critical opinion would suggest that the 7th is the best musically.
playing this on viola too 😂 Dvorak never forgets the viola; his American quartet is a clear example of this
Every bar is dripping with inventiveness, tunefulness and imagination. And the ending one of the most satisfying and exhilarating in all music.
Performed this in youth orchestra once. The build-up and climax at 31:52 was absolutely EPIC

Let me say something sacrilegious if I tell you that the 8th is probably my favorite among Dvorak's symphonies. I'm serious.
The 9th is overplayed.

I agree! Beethoven's 7th is always my go to when I need to be uplifted.
Excuse me but not only is Dvoraks 8th symphony his best symphony BY FAR , it gets my vote for best symphony ever written
It really is such a wonderful piece...so much excitement. Nice!

Bass excerpt at 21:32
I am listening to each of Dvorak's symphonies in turn. I am not sure whether I agree with Gervase Hughes ("Fifty Famous Composers", 1972) when he says, "Structural deficiencies are even more noticeable in symphony no.8 in G major (1889) and no.9 in E minor (1893, 'From The New World'). The first and third movements of the G major are close-knit and attractive, but the second is long-winded, and the finale, which sets forth confidently as though it were to be a theme with variations, ends by chasing its own tail."
I like the chunky, run on second movement. Feels like a journey and gives the piece gravity.
Yes; Gervase Hughes' Symphony no. 8 is far superior.. lol. 🤣
Dvorak loved to experiment stuff, this is why the critic always go crazy about him! Like how his piano concerto (aside from being hard for pianist) is more about a conversation between orchestra and piano than a fight like how was common in the concertos of his era!
Being British doesn't mean you can't be a nincompoop, and Mr. Hughes demonstrates that amply.
