@legatofancier It's amazing how Dvorak was able to synthesize so much "original" American music into the "New World" symphony and the chamber works you mentioned (one of them originally had a rather distasteful name); as a European he truly grasped much of the American idiom and he did it so beautifully and well.
He was a great composer.
The more I listen to this version, the more I like it ! Who was the old guy Tibbett shook hands with at 2:49 ?

That's his predecessor at the Met, baritone Antonio Scotti, whom he completely stole the show from in Falstaff. Tibbett was Ford and Scotti Falstaff. The performance was to commemorate Scotti's long career at the Met. Here Tibbett congratulates Scotti in his dressing-room after a performance of L'Oracolo.
