About

The second series of Dvořák's Slavonic Dances, performed by Jiří Bělohlávek and the Prague Symphonic Orchestra

Born into a humble family settled in Nelahozeves, a village near Prague, Antonín Dvořák left school at the age of 11 to learn his father's trades, butcher and innkeeper. Thankfully, Antonín's precocious musical gifts are quickly noticed, and the young boy is sent to study at his uncles's plance in Zlonice, then to Prague from 1857 onwards. Playing the viola in the Prager Kappelle's orchestra, Dvořák familiarized himself with the classical and contemporary masterworks. Enjoying a well-established reputation from his peers and the internation audience, Dvořák is in his lifetime a Major figure on the musical scene. Invited in Germany, in France, in the United Kingdom and in the United States, Dvořák eventually went back to his homeland to manage the Conservatory of Prague. Dvořák, who died in 1904, left a considerable oeuvre which has ever since been performed on the stages worldwide.
