CD: Dvorak Symphony No. 8 / Mackerras
DVORAK (1841-1904)
Symphonic Variations
Symphony No.8

Chosen by Classic FM's John Suchet as CD of the week, 23 May 2011.

Sir Charles Mackerras and the London Philharmonic Orchestra shared a musical heritage spanning 45 years. His début performance with the Orchestra in 1958 began with Dvořák’s Carnival Overture and in 2003 he made what would be his final appearance with the Orchestra conducting Dvořák’s Symphony No. 7. This live recording of Dvořák’s Symphonic Variations and Symphony No. 8 from 1992 pays tribute to a partnership that exuded a joy and vivacity in musicmaking that lives on in the memory of the Orchestra and its audience and can now be discovered and cherished anew.

£9.99 Audio CD
