THE B.B.C. ORCHESTRA
(Section D)
(Led by LAURANCE TURNER )
Conductor, ADRIAN BOULT
Overture, Der Bauer ein Schelm (The
Knavish Peasant)
Symphony No. 2, in D minor
I. Allegro maestoso ; 2. Poco adagio; 3. Scherzo: Vivace; 4. Finale: Allegro
Dvorak wrote a number of operas, many of which are frequently performed in his own country, but never yet in England... The Knavish Peasant is a comic opera in two acts. It was first produced in Prague in 1877 and a good deal in Germany in the immediate following years. We are too much apt to associate Dvorak with symphonic music only. There is, however, much fine music in his operas, and in Prague at least they are esteemed very highly.
