Dvo艡谩k: Symphony No 9 in E minor, 'From the New World'

Leonidas Kavakos (violin)
Vienna Philharmonic
Andr茅s Orozco鈥怑strada (conductor)

Dvo艡谩k鈥檚 鈥楴ew World鈥 Symphony, with its wistful slow movement, is the centrepiece of the second concert from the Vienna Philharmonic 鈥 a programme of Central European works that showcases the orchestra鈥檚 distinctively rich sound. Andr茅s Orozco-Estrada pairs it with the composer鈥檚 colourful, folk-infused tone poem The Noonday Witch, in which a mother鈥檚 threats inadvertently summon a witch into her home. Cinematic drama is also a hallmark of Korngold鈥檚 richly orchestrated and unashamedly romantic Violin Concerto, performed here by soloist Leonidas Kavakos.
