Ma Région Virtuose in Les Sables d'Olonne

Enchanted by this “New World” discovered during his stay in the United States, Dvorák composed his 9th Symphony, drawing inspiration from American folk music, skillfully combining its themes with European orchestral writing. Premiered with immense success at Carnegie Hall in New York on December 15, 1893, this work, driven by a powerful lyrical spirit, has become one of the most popular in the symphonic repertoire.
