Conductor, Ian Whyte
Dvorak's Symphony in G is known at No. 4, though it is the eighth (the last but one) that he wrote. It was first per* formed in Prague in February, 1890. Two months later it was played in London; and in the following year at Cambridge, when Dvorak received the honorary degree of Doctor of Music. It was also published in this country instead of in Germany. In view of these associations it became known as the ' English Symphony: a singularly unsuitable title. Even in the ' New World,* written four years later, there are passages which show that Dvorak had by no meant forgotten his native land; in the Symphony In G he was clearly thinking of no other.
