Drp/Inkinen - Anton�n Dvo?�k: Symphony No. 6, Hussite Overture, Overtures to Vanda & Selma sedl�k

Dvo?�k�s Sixth Symphony in D major, composed in the late summer and autumn of 1880, is often referred to as Dvo?�k�s 'First' because it was the first one to be published by Simrock and is considered the first of his brilliant masterpieces in the genre. His contemporaries were in agreement that Dvo?�k had not only mastered the large-scale form of four-movement symphonies but had also developed his individual, distinctive style. �This symphony reflects the cheerfulness, humour and passion of the Czech people�, said the early Dvo?�k biographer Otakar �ourek. This release also includes the Hussite Overture and the overtures to Selma sedl�k and Vanda.
