Britt Music & Arts Festival: Dvorak’s New World Symphony

In his “New World” Symphony, Antonín Dvořák creates a portrait of his travels across the United States, weaving together Black spirituals and traditional Native American music with tunes from his native Bohemia, while Sergei Rachmaninoff’s ravishing Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini embarks on a rollercoaster of fiery emotion and pianistic flourishes.
