Dvorak new world symphony largo

A beautiful choice!

The "New World" Symphony, also known as Symphony No. 9 in E minor, Op. 95, B. 178, is a famous symphony by Antonín Dvořák, a Czech composer. The symphony was written in 1893 and premiered on June 16, 1893, in New York City.

The "Largo" movement, which is the second movement of the symphony, is one of the most well-known and beloved movements in all of classical music. It's a slow and contemplative movement, featuring a beautiful melody played by the violins, accompanied by a subtle and soothing harmony.

The "Largo" movement is often referred to as the "New World" theme, as it's said to evoke the spirit of the American wilderness and the Native American culture that Dvořák was fascinated by during his time in the United States. The movement is characterized by its soaring melody, rich harmonies, and a sense of longing and nostalgia.

Here's a beautiful recording of the "Largo" movement by the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Herbert von Karajan:
