After a critically acclaimed Lutosławski album, conductor Krzysztof Urbański continues his collaboration with the NDR Sinfonieorcheste on Dvořák's Symphony No. 9, a work that has always fascinated him. Completing the programme in sharp contrast to the famous symphony is the rare piece A Hero's Song.
"It was only when I studied Dvořák's other symphonies that I came to understand the principal characteristic and strength of the Ninth: simplicity. I wanted to dig deeper and so I examined the manuscript and parts used for the New York premiere. There I discovered things that changed my view of it ... the coupling, the rare A Hero’s Song, shows an entirely different side of Dvořák. The way he transforms the initial four note motif to evoke so many varied feelings, from joy to tragedy, shows his immense compositional mastery."
- Krzysztof Urbański
