From the innermost to the big wide world

The two works of this evening mark the beginning and the peak of Antonín Dvořák's success for good reason: After its premiere in Prague in 1880, the "Stabat mater" laid the foundation for Dvořák's international career. In London in 1883, the audience was so enthusiastic that Dvořák was invited to personally conduct a performance at the Royal Albert Hall with 800 singers, a large orchestra and 12,000 listeners the following year. The grandiose success marked Dvořák's international breakthrough. Almost ten years later, the "Te Deum" was premiered at Carnegie Hall in New York. Dvořák, known for his Bohemian-native national color, was commissioned to help the Americans in their search for their own national musical style. It was during his time in the USA that Dvořák composed his most famous works today, such as the Ninth Symphony "From the New World" and the Cello Concerto.
