Dvorak's opera The Jacobin features the character of a rural Bohemian music teacher - exactly the kind of "simple Czech musician" Dvorak liked to think of himself as being. In this programme, Susan Sharpe includes music from The Jacobin alongside pieces reflecting Dvorak's religious heritage, plus the third and most famous of his Slavonic
Rhapsodies. Today's symphonic poem, The Wild Dove, is perhaps his finest, blending all the Czech elements of his art.
