This piece should sound familiar to most people who have listened to a Classical radio station (like Classical 96.3 FM in Toronto), and it’s one of the best loved pieces by Dvorak.

Symphony No. 9 “From the New World”

Posted by Frederick Ding on March 30, 2009 · Leave a Comment 

Antonín Dvořák, a Czech composer, wrote this excellent symphony during his visit to the United States in the 1890s. It is probably his most famous symphony, and reasonably so!

If you don’t actually want to listen to the whole 40 minutes of this symphony, I highly recommend the first two movements.
