THE BBC NORTHERN ORCHESTRA

Leader, Alfred Barker
Conducted by Arnold Perry
Dvorak's ' Legends ', Op. 59, ten in number and dedicated to Eduard Hanslick (the much abused Viennese critic and original of Wagner's Beckmesser), exist in two forms: for piano duet and for full orchestra. They were written in th'e winter of 1880-81, immediately' after the conclusion of the so-called First Symphony in D.
The pieces are all fairly short and thoroughly characteristic of Dvorak's delightful melodic, harmonic, and orchestral style.
