This is what Dvořák wrote to his friend Emil Kozánek from New York in December 1893: “I am just finishing the new Symphony in E minor. It gives me great pleasure and will be fundamentally different from my earlier ones. Anyone with any ear for such things must recognize the influence of America.” In 1892, Dvořák had followed the call of the New York Conservatory and, as a composition teacher, was to help establish an American version of classical music based on the European model.
The American influences in Dvořák’s 9th Symphony were hotly debated even during his lifetime, so much so that the composer felt compelled to make the following clarification: “But leave out the nonsense that I used Indian and American motifs, because that is a lie. I have written only in the spirit of these American folk songs.” Striking features of the themes in this symphony, such as pentatonic and modal turns and syncopated rhythms, are attributed to the “spirit of American folk music.” What is fundamentally different about this symphony “From the New World” compared to the previous symphonies, however, is the thematic interlocking of the movements. The memorable main theme of the first movement in particular proves to be the leitmotif in all movements.
The specific source of inspiration for the entire symphony was identified as the verse epic “The Song of Hiawatha” by Henry W. Longfellow. Dvořák knew this poem and was fascinated by “the dignity of the Indian legends and the descriptions of the American landscape,” as Dvořák biographer Otakar Šourek writes.
The Tutzing Brahmstage is a small but elegant classical music festival. In 2022, it celebrated a double anniversary. The concert series was held for the 25th time and at the same time, it was the 125th anniversary of the death of the famous German composer. The Brahmstage festival takes place every year in Tutzing on Lake Starnberg in Upper Bavaria - the place where Brahms spent a summer composing important works in 1873. On four Sundays in October 2022, Brahms' four great symphonies were performed together with one symphony each by Antonin Dvořák - the 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th - in the Church of St. Joseph.
As one of Munich's great symphony orchestras, the Münchner Symphoniker (Munich Symphony Orchestra) has been an integral part of the German musical landscape for over 75 years. They perform around 100 concerts a year in concert series in Bavaria, with guest appearances and tours in Germany and abroad. The orchestra with musicians from 17 different nations presents varied programs on large concert and open-air stages as well as in its own rehearsal hall at the Bavaria Studios.
Alondra de la Parra’s interview partners are Desirée Wolff, co-principal flutist, Alexander Penthin, percussionist, Stefano Brusini, horn player, and musicologist Stephan Beck.

I really love her passion for all of the music she conducts!
Absolutely great video!!! I do really love videos like this, especially with Alondra de la Parra!! She's amazing!
Too good. This is one of my favorite works.
A superb piece, nice to see such an interesting video about it! Thanks.
The look on her face as the last note slowly fades…wonderful. During four movements she was the music.
Wow Alondra, absolutely amazing!
❤️
Great video! My favourite symphony and one I listen to on repeat, but I realized I knew nothing about it! Wonderful insight and lovely letting the musicians talk. Big fan of Stephan Beck as well, I like the way he phrases things! Thanks :)

Gute Dokumentation. Die Musiker spielen einfach toll und Alondra topt das Ganze mit Eleganz.❤❤❤
No importa en que país allá nacido, lo importante es reconocer de donde viene sus raíces y no negarlo si no sentirse orgullosa de donde viene su sangre antepasados de hay venimos todos los seres humanos eso es talento herencia 🕊️

She is *rapidly* moving up on my list of favorite conductors. She feels and expresses the music like no one else. Her "Bolero" is hypnotic.

I had a great time watching this analysis video :)
For not being Mexican she has the strongest Mexican accent. Wonder why that is?
She comes from a Mexican family, grew up in Mexico and lived there for many years.
We don't know her passport, but she is commonly referred to as a Mexican conductor.
We hope we have been able to help clarify 😊
Accent and nationality never enter my mind watching/listening to her. She's just so enthusiastic.
Increíble sensibilidad que Alondra transmite como si iluminara con luz especial una Obra Maestra. 🙏
🥰

12:00 4° movement !!

Música clássica cura doenças da alma! experimentem chegar de um dia cansado em casa e ir em um concerto de música clássica pra você ver.
We totally agree 🙂
No9 vs. No9...
Every spaghetti western sounds like Dvorak's 9th.
Stefan Beck ist wirklich ein guter Musiker. Über schöne Maestra gibt es viele Frage. Allein eine Begabung zu dirigieren reicht für dieses Beruf nicht aus.
Sergej Razinkow Alondra de la Parra war an 2 Universitäten zum Musikstudium. Sie spielt mehrere Instrumente. Einfach ihr Portrait ansehen.
I can't shake the feeling that conductors are overrated and almost entirely unnecessary. At least during a performance, Their role before a performance is a different matter.
I write this because I would like someone, if possible, to either confirm my impression or change my mind.
@@declup Maybe so for the Baroque and early Classical period music where not so many players/instruments are involved, but stuff from the Romantic period onward usually require a conductor, I think (and especially for the atonal stuff and the more rhythmically complicated stuff). Orchestra musicians may have different ideas of how to phrase things, and the conductor is the one unifying the different ideas into one cohesive interpretation/way-of-playing-the-whole piece. A lot of Mozart and early Beethoven bands can still be heard today with no conductor (or maybe the soloist also does the conducting, and everyone else have to follow the soloist's vision of the piece), but you'd just about never see that in post-Beethoven music. Too complicated in many ways.
Marketing trash ! Very bad conductor ! Alondra de la Parra is horrible !
Haters gonna hate
Ruhstill Neid ist ein Krebsgeschwür, der Körper verfault dadurch. Vor allen Dingen bei Menschen die selbst nichts können.Alondra versteht eine Menge von Musik, spielt mehrere Instrumente.
