«Symphony No. 9 "From the New World" / Serenade for Strings» is the compilation by Antonín Dvořák, released in 1990 by Sony Classical on CD.
The album brings together two orchestral works by Antonín Dvořák: Symphony No. 9 in E minor, Op. 95, composed during his stay in the United States and known as «From the New World», and the Serenade for Strings in E major, Op. 22, a lighter and more elegant score. The symphony, with its famous Largo, evokes melodies of American inspiration against a background of Bohemian roots; the serenade, in five movements, unfolds a serene and danceable lyricism.
Symphony No. 9 is performed by the London Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Eugene Ormandy and the Serenade for Strings by the Munich Philharmonic conducted by Rudolf Kempe. Edition of one disc from the Essential Classics series by Sony Classical, with catalog number SBK 46331 and a total duration of 72:28 minutes.
Recommended for those seeking a classic reference recording with two of the most popular works of the Czech Romantic repertoire.
