Anybody ever notice how strong Dvorak’s symphonic endings are? Even if there pianissimi (like in the 9th)! The Cello Concerto is another good example. I heard this symphony the first time conducted by Haitenck in Vienna in 1973 and it blew me away. And has, when played well like here, ever since.

I think Dvorak’s endings tend to be weak - chaotic and/or unsettled. His beginnings, on the other hand, are magnificent. The 8th is no exception: :32 to 2:05 is some of the most magical music ever composed.

I second the sound quality of this recording. Either they have a perfectly designed music hall or a highly skilled recording engineer - the orchestra simply sounds unbelievably rich on KZread.

Don't forget to check out his 3 concertos for cello, violin and piano, and of course his 16 Slavonic dances. Legends, and Serenade for strings. The list is endless, and he only lived for 63 years!

The finale of the symphony is so joyous, yet it is as equally filled with an intense, almost angry momentum, that seems to beg to be resolved. I think that 31:49 to 33:23 has to be one of my favorite moments in all of Dvorak's music.

Interesting what music brings to mind. To my knowledge, there's no archeological support for the notion that the Mongols reached Bohemia, Moravia or another of the Czech lands. Nor do I know if Dvořák were interested in Russian 'medieval' history. I think not. Leaving aside music for opera or ballet ("Prince Igor" and "The Rite of Spring" come to mind), is there other symphonic music -- Czech, Russian, or by a composer of another nationality -- that conjures up such images for you? Are the images color or b&w? Does music in general bring to mind images of any sort?

Took a course on the history of the symphony. Dvorak essentially ignored. What a crock. No. 8 is among my top 5 favorite of ALL Symphonies. Antonin, you genius, you are NOT forgotten among all who truly love classical music. It occurs to me that it is also sadly overlooked due to the famous familiarity of the New World, great, of course, in it's own right. Oh, and 28:32, one of, if not, the greatest of all cello section writings ever conceived. Only Brahms can compete.

This symphony is something that is really beyond my thinking. I can't imagine my life without this sparkling song to life, an absolutely infectious work full of bliss.

No Brahms?!" discharged his weapon, and delivered a nasty flesh wound!

One of the most enjoyable 2nd clarinet parts I've ever played! I really appreciate the way he wrote for 2 clarinets!

What impressed me most about this interpretation is Honeck's extreme contrasts in tempi between the meditative and energetic portions of the symphony. He captures the Bohemian fervor in the latter, but loses some of that dramatic urgency in the former. His enthusiasm for the work is evident however; he is very interesting to watch while conducting, and the orchestra responds marvelously, especially the horns and flute, so important in this work. This is a fine performance, and unlike any I've heard before, but none can equal that of Vaclav Talich and the Czech Philharmonic, whose Artia (Supraphon?) LP is a treasure in my collection.

I was in 9th grade, and this was the first symphonic piece I ever played. Dvorak hooked me for life. The genius of this conductor’s interpretation of Dvorak’s 8th Symphony, and the spectacular attention to detail in the engineering of the recording make this spectacular.👌

When I first heard this music almost 40 years ago, as I listened to the way in which the last moment slowly fades away, after beginning with such a strong opening, I yearned for it to spring back to life. It cannot end on this note, I thought, everything about this symphony so far has been optimistic, always starting somber but ending triumphantly. And now it is ending like this. With a whimper. And then, when all seemed lost, that wonderful, energetic bravura ending! What a way to round off this glorious work. And this performance really brings out the drama and emotion.

The incredible gorgeous Rich bounteous Beauty found within this along with the creative fun and joyful sounds are like no other. If Beethoven had lived to hear this he would have rejoiced. It makes me wish I could have known Dvorak personally. To have him as my best friend would have been a wonderful experience. I myself am a composer arranger and performer and who knows what I could have done with this kind of influence in my life

A very outstanding performance. Everyone plays exceptionally well, and I’m particularly impressed with the principal flute player. She is a stunningly, beautiful woman, who plays like an angel. Such a blessing, the Lord gave her.

冒頭のチェロに惚れて聴き始めた曲です。その後ろでやってるコンバスのピッチカートも本当に素敵で… 交響曲で初めて全楽章聴いた曲で、今では一番好きな交響曲です。一度でいいから生で聴きたいし弾いてみたい…！

Manfred Honeck comes into his own with this splendid orchestra.

Eines der größten Meisterwerke! Dvorak - einer der Größten!

Stupenda sinfonia di un grande compositore geniale come Antonin Dvorak (1841-1904). Il finale poi è straordinario e coinvolgente in modo particolare. Che melodie e finezza di orchestrazione, ottima anche l'interpretazione.

bravo~!! dvorak ~one of the greatest composer in history....

30:48 that flute solo kills me everytime I listen being played by her. 💙

Wonderful! My absolute favorite piece of music and I haven't heard it performed any better than this. Thank you for posting

Thank you for posting this - I saw this performed last night at the Austin Symphony Orchestra, and it was wonderful to share this excellent performance with my kids today!

I am forever grateful to my orchestra conductor for showing us this piece. Sadly we never got to play it in concerts due to Corona, but man, those were some of my favorite rehearsal weeks ever.

Dvorak the soul of czech culture. My defenite favorite country in Europe. Visiting Prague is like coming home. Taking a trip around in the bohemian landscape outside Prague. You can feel what created Dvorak and Smetanas emotions for their country, people and culture. Being a norwegian we have the same dejavu for Edward Griegs music. The 3.rd movement of this symphony is pinpointing the czech atmosphere.

Eine der besten Sinfonien auf der Welt. Dvorak‘s 8. ist einmalig. Wunderbar!

The moments I treasure most, not just in this symphony but in all Dvorak, are the four minutes from 16:00 to 20:00. The dialogue is so emotionally evocative. What are they saying? It's in the distinct language of music that can never be translated into words, but I hear something like an invitation from the Godly flutes to the soulful clarinets to stop everything and journey back into the depths of the soul: Dvorak to the depths of his soul and all of us to the depths of our own. After the tumultuous churning in the mind we are transported to our own, half- forgotten, simpler and more joyous past in a quieter more natural world where we would, say, dance innocently in the rural village of our childhood.

This is a wonderful orchestra. What a trumpet section! I have heard their Mahler 5, and the gentleman just nails the trumpet part!

31:30 I have never heard this part played so well. What is that rattling? The violin bows? Absolutely brilliant. Goosebumps!

Although she is good, pity she does not use circular breathing. Watch Karajan & Wiener Philharmoniker from the eighties and you will notice the difference

You know it's a professional orchestra when they take the slow sections EVEN slower (movement 2, beginning), and the fast sections EVEN faster (movement 4, finale section).

played this piece for my orchestra. my sister and I still get chills at 7:18 AHHHH

Best part of the piece

One of the best renditions of Dvorak's 8th ever.

Dvorak's charm (and energy as well) is the character of his Bohemian homeland infused in his music. The second mvmt of this Sym. 8 'Adagio' - is so lush and it is as if you can picture the rolling fields of the Czech Republic or Slovakia - with nature in late May in its glory. The sonoroties are amazing... beginning at 13:54 with what I call "field & stream", and continuing to a repeat of the opening clarinet motif ... to 17:30. Three and a hald minutes of incredible sonorities and development. I believe Dvorak does not receive enough attention for his skill. His scoring for woodwinds, and for horns, in particular, is divine. He can turn musical phrase ala Mozart... just a hundred years later...

David, I agree with and appreciate all of your comments. This piece makes me as though I've been to Bohemia. Dvorak's ability to use the entire orchestra in the numerous duets, echoes and solos makes this piece absolutely charming. I also liked Stuart Wise's comment about recognizing all of the orchestra groups/players. Dvorak's use of the entire orchestra makes that a very long and complicated process. Bravo, Mr. Honeck, for directing and recognizing a wonderful orchestra.

III. Allegretto grazioso - Molto vivace ∙ 22:10 My favorite
