Hear one of the Dvořák's most popular works

The programme is based on a musical part but also on a spoken word that will be given in Czech language only. The programme will not be supplied with English subtitles.

Listen to Antonín Dvořák’s beautiful Eighth Symphony in G major, his last before the New World Symphony. When the Vienna Philharmonic first played the symphony on 4 January 1891, the music critic Eduard Hanslick wrote: “This entire work is one of Dvořák’s best… Dvořák is a serious artist and has learned much, but his knowledge has not cost him his spontaneity and freshness. His works give voice to a singular individual who exudes a refreshing breath of innovation and originality. Dvořák’s works grow sometimes to prodigious proportions, sometimes to more modest ones, rising to greater or lesser heights, but all of them are full grown. And it is that natural growth that wins us over so quickly in our age of reason and that we so gladly remain faithful to.”

Rudolfinum is the most famous concert building in Prague and the seat of the Czech Philharmonic

The main Dvořák Hall is considered as one of the most beautiful concert halls in Prague with excellent acoustics particularly suitable for symphonic and oratorial, as well as chamber music. There is also a magnificent organ in the Dvořák Hall. Festive atmosphere and great classical music and jazz concerts in Rudolfinum will not let you forget this exceptional venue.

The elegant Neo-Renaissance building of Rudolfinum was built between 1876-1884. It was conceived as a multipurpose cultural center with concert and exhibition halls. The building was taken under the patronage of the heir of the Habsburg throne, the archduke Rudolph after whom the building was named.

Between 1919 and 1941 Rudolfinum served temporarily as an assembly hall of Czech Parliament. Since then it has functioned as a concert hall, exhibition space, and a seat of the Czech Philharmonic. Two concert halls stage the most prominent classical music concerts such as the Dvořák Prague or Prague Spring festivals.

In 1896 the Czech composer Antonín Dvořák conducted Czech Philharmonic performing his Symphony No. 9 "From the New World". That´s how the history of Czech Philharmonic, Rudolfinum and Dvořák Hall began...
