Dvorak: The Slavonic Dances (complete)

PRACTICALLY

Anton Dvorak (1841-1904) is another nationalistic composer. Bom in Czechoslovakia, his art was primarily a homely one, engaging, lovable; only a misanthrope could resist it ; the music springs from a peasant mind, God-fearing and devoid of all guile. “In spite of the fact that I moved about in the great world of . music”, he once wrote, “I shall remain what I have always been-a simple Qzech musician.’’;'
