Symphony No. 3, in F played by the BBC Northern Orchestra, conducted by Julius Harrison
Like Brahms , Dvorak did not venture upon the difficult task of writing a symphony until he felt sure of his powers. His first three symphonies were composed during the years 1874-5. They show a remarkable maturity of technique and thought and spontaneity of invention. The No. 3, in F, is a happily conceived work full of melodic charm and rhythmic vigour. It is dedicated to Hans von Billow, who in a letter of thanks to the composer said : 'A dedication from you, who-next to Brahms -are the most God-inspired composer of the day, is a higher distinction than any kind of decoration bestowed by a prince ; I accept this honour with the heartiest thanks '.
