Dvorak: His Best Works

[onlysush11]

@.34 looks like a Mugshot

[kenedal1]

I think his best work is his Cello concierto esp the 1st and 2nd movements

[AnasTangi]

Sorry, but the piece that starts at 6:48 doesn't sound like Slavonik dance n° 2, at least not like the version that I have.

Can you please check an tell us what's the title?

Thanks!

[wwjd19jeff91ynwa]

He's got many nice works! If I'd have to choose, I love the cello concerto, from the violin concerto I love the final movement the most. And his opera Rusalka contains some great pieces of music, like 'Hou Hou Hou' and of course the song to the moon :)

[philmixer]

To call this music genius is a complete understatement! This music goes beyond genius!

[twodirectionalfoil]

CIV4 got some of his work in background

[MYSELF555666]

The name of the songs! That's a great work.

Thanks

[Nostravitagadiel]

Hey Rusalka song to the moon :D

[Rev1981]

This is amazing! Thank you so much.

[Scottclawson]

i think his best work still is "song to the moon" !!!!

[raichy]

Dvorak is my favorite composer

[ggguzman]

i love his playfulness...i wonder what kind of person he was when he was alive. he certainly looked like a toad

[svoba4af]

@ggguzman Well, he reportedly liked people but not being in crowd. He was aware of his talent and tried to get paid handsomely fot that. On the other hand, his head was always partly in clouds, especially as he was telling his students stories about America. He didn´t married his first love but her sister and in the end, they were very happy and had many children.

[Matto623]

whats name of it ????????????????

[Matto623]

5:42 BEST !!!!!!!!!!!

[laboheme4]

One of my favourite pieces is his Serenade for strings - the 3rd movement.

[polishcellist09]

I can't decide on a FAVORITE Dvorak... I am torn between his second cello concerto (yes, I said second... there was one in A as well and it's decent) first and third movements, and the third and fourth movements of the ninth, 'New World' symphony. I love finding lesser-known pieces to play on my cello, and he wrote a rondo in g minor for cello that is ADORABLE. I just wish he would make up his mind about whether the treble clef is to be played as notated or down the octave... it's not logical

[rcdallavia]

Thank you for putting in Symp 8! It's my absolute favorite. The chromatic scale in mvmt. 1 is electrifying.

Consider adding Slavonic Dance 4, the Atlanta Symphony has a great CD of the complete set on iTunes, his Romance for Violin, and the Cello Concerto in future additions.

[sabistarian]

Cello concerto in B minor!

[lesterdiamond5]

There is no other composer better than dvorak after beethoven

[Fischicella]

550

[showjumpersam]

I can't seem to find a full version of the penultimate piece (6'48") in this video that sounds the same as the name given in the list. Are we sure it is Slavonic dance No. 2? Thanks :)

[fmejdik]

It is indeed op. 46 / Slavonic Dance no. 2 ...

[showjumpersam]

I can find no similarity between that passage and the Slavonic dance. Can you find and post a link to it?

[erasuto]

A real genious!

[stonebridgeboy86]

Dvorak, now you're talking great composers

[smetaner]

@ 07821631589

It is the 2nd movement of the E major op.22 Serenade for Strings

[07821631589]

whats the song at 2.07 pleace i surch it for a long time

[Dante051180]

@07821631589 tempo die valse

[07821631589]

vielen dank

[Tiagoerg]

Serenade in D Minor for wind and strings: Tempo Di valse

[principo]

8:32 is the symphony of New World..Great piece of art...!!

[HaagenDazzle]

Yeah that's his ninth shymphony

[malma3]

exactly

[TheFiddl3r]

of course not serenade in d minor, only in E major op.22 :) and 8:32 its 9 symphony 2 mov cor. ing. :)

[Rsilvam1980]

8:32 its "Bedřich Smetana - Die Moldau", sorry

[TheFiddl3r]

I don't know what You are playing but I have no more comments for You. It's Dvorak.. You are writing Smetana..-Veltava.. It's deplorable...

[lixxik]

no it isnt

[polishcellist09]

@Rsilvam1980

I've played both- and it resembles it... but this is New World... later in the piece, you hear the same theme and the strings divvy up and break down to just a cello and violin solo, after which the entire section sweeps in and you almost cry at how beautiful it is.

Any and all crying in Moldau would have to be earlier in the piece. ;)

I prefer the dancey quality of the peasant dance, myself, though.

[Rsilvam1980]

Hello, I need to know the name of that music, minute 8:32, help me please, it is so beautiful. bye

[LibbyChocolate]

i think its Symphony #9 i think its the first/second movement, i am sure its not 4th

[lubdvorak]

It is Symphony No 9 second movement Largo.

[Rsilvam1980]

no, that is not, sorry

[fozziebear2009]

Earthatic, I really do enjoy these compilations of yours! You should include more of your own stuff!

[Rkmajora]

Where is Dvorak's 9th, 1st Mov??? It's like you don't think that it is anything of worth by not including it.

[Sinfoniette]

I still don't get why the Violin concerto is there while the Cello concerto isn't.

Yay for choosing comparatively-inferior works and putting the name "his best works"!

[Bandfred]

No Op 98b? The American Suite?

I'd kill to find a copy of that.

[tisthegifttobesimple]

Dvorak's best piece was, by far, his 7th Symphony.

[emilygclarinet]

I agree!

Too bad it isn't his best-known symphony.

[Mu71L80R]

I though his best known symphony was The new world 4th movement :P

[AKfromNY]

how do you not have the cello concerto in B minor lol it was the most famous cello concerto of all time if im not mistaken :( it should definetly be in here

[fyrefly08]

the string movement from about 2mins till 252 which of his pieces is that? ive been trying to find it and i am having no luck

[MaestroAnnie]

that one is the serenade in d minor - tempo di valse :)

[corgholio]

actually i think its in E (op. 22). it IS tempo di valse tho. . .

[quirkygurl]

Thank you for posting this!

[Franticuli]

His best work ? The golden spinning wheel !

[ThaSchwab]

Carnival Overture. The trombone parts are amazing if played correctly (best part is at 0:32).

[pimpinpianist87]

His Symphony No. 9 is by far his best work. It's amazing and catchy, especially the horns. The 4th Movement is crazy, my favorite of all!

[rawautube]

Mr,Dvorak is dead,what do you mean by( by far ),what are expecting?

haaa

[pimpinpianist87]

Wow, I know he's dead. But, obviously you don't know English very well. If I would have said "so far", then you would have a valid statement. Saying "by far" in that sentence means that out of all his works, the 9th Symphony is undoubtedly his best work. Go learn the difference before you correct people.

[hankparish]

haha you tell him :)

[prettyshady]

lol

[lesterdiamond5]

@pimpinpianist87 lol i love when people fight on this

[TalkerStudio]

dude where do you get american suite?

[earthatic]

If you buy Dvorak: Symphonies 1-9 and other other Orchestral works Conductor: Libor Pesek

Orchestra's: Royal Liverpool Philaromic Orchestra/ Czech Philaromic Orchestra. Publisher: Virgin Classics. On CD 8. I hope this has helped, but just leave leave me another comment if you need more infomation.

[Rein199]

Maybe when he was in states... From The New World????

[musicoftheuniverse]

nice compilation; I find his best writing to be in his String Quartets. A wonderful set! I think Beethoven was the only other composer to put together a coherent cycle; the works of Haydn and Mozart are glorious; but don't hang together quite well.

[earthatic]

What's your favourite Dvorak piece? Tell me on this comment board!

[VeraJameson]

I like a lot of his compositions, and it is hard to pick a favorite. Probably his Opera, Rusalka. Listen to 'Mesicku na nebi' here on YouTube by Pilar Lorengar or Anna Netrebko.

[elestir]

I vote for version from Milada Šubrtová, here on youtube on: watch?v=eRLUY2HEgIc

[skraddypoo]

@earthatic Serenade in D Minor, of course!
