Musical Travellers
With Richard Baker.
4: Dvorak in the USA. It was always with reluctance that Dvorak - who liked to describe himself as "just a simple Czech musician" - left home for foreign parts. But his visits to
England were great successes, and during his three years in the USA he helped American music to find its authentic voice and created some of his finest compositions. Including: Dvorak Symphony No 9 in E minor (From the New World) (3rd mvt)
Scottish NO , conductor Neeme Jarvi
String Quintet in E flat, Op 97
(American) (2nd mvt) Raphael Ensemble Cello Concerto in B minor (3rd mvt) Yo-Yo Ma , New York Philharmonic, conductor Kurt Masur
