@lachnessmonster1 His 5th symphony is also amazing. There are some connections between the 5th and Brahms' 2nd. And the similarity of the second movement of the 5th with the first movement of Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto no. 1 (written in the same year) is remarkable. Dvorak was an unsurpassed genius (high praised by Brahms, who he borrowed from quite often), as were Brahms and Tchaikovsky. Symphonies 1 through 3 (especially 1) lack the intensely distinct Dvorak voice, to an extent.

@alger3041 I know the 4th is one of the least played of the middle to later symphonies. It is a gorgeous symphony, and I especially like the first three movements the best. The 7th is one of my top favorite symphonies of all time (my most favorite symphonies seem to be odd-numbered ones, for some reason - including Brahms 3rd, Tchaikovsky 5th, Dvorak 7th and Beethoven 9th).

I have not played this symphony yet, but have played his 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th. Of those, the 7th was the most technically difficult for me personally (as a 1st violinist), but we shall see if this one is more difficult once I get the part. I have a feeling the 7th will still be the tops.

For some reason, of the four movements of this symphony, this is my least favorite...but I do like the movement, which means I LOVE the other movements. Am performing this symphony in my orchestra's first concert next season.

This is undoubtedly Slovak Philharmonic under S. Gunzenhauser. a recording by naxos. Almost 100% sure...
His 4th, 7th, 8th, and 9th symphonies are all amazing. and this is one the most incredible finales out there
