Sir Colin Davis's recording of Dvorák's Symphony No 9 was the first title recorded and released on LSO Live, immediately establishing the label's international reputation. In celebration of it's 25th anniversary, LSO Live presents a remastered edition of Dvorák's Symphonies Nos 6-9, recorded with Davis in the label's early years. As one of the leading figures of nationalism in music, Dvorák's symphonies exude the essence of his Czech homeland. The influence of his native Bohemia shines out from every one of the symphonies, which are full of drama and laced with rich folk melodies. These recordings are paired with works by Smetana and Janácek, who also drew on the mythology and pastoral beauty of their beloved country. Janácek's Sinfonietta showcases the Czech musical tradition through dancing strings and celebratory brass, while Smetana's six tone poems that form Má vlast depict aspects of Czech myth and natural wonders, including the river Vltava as it flows through the countryside and into Prague. The release of this album in 2024 also marks the 200th anniversary of Smetana's birth, the 120th of Dvorák's death, and the 170th of Janácek's birth.
