A Sétima de Dvorák

Following its triumphant premiere in London, Dvorák's Seventh Symphony set itself in the repertoire as a fundamental piece descending directly from the great symphonies of Beethoven and Brahms. The influences of Slavic folklore, greatly explored by Dvorák in other works, fade here to give way to the composer's inner world and universalism, revealed in imaginative instrumentations and the brilliant treatment of the musical material. An ambitious piece, dark and marked by dramatic intensity, explained in this concert by Daniel Moreira, using musical examples performed by the orchestra before its entire interpretation.
