Overview

This recording features Antonín Dvořák’s Symphony No. 1 in C Minor, The Bells of Zlonice (Symfónia C Mol "Zlonické Zvony"), performed by the Slovak Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Zdeněk Košler. Composed in 1865, the symphony marks Dvořák’s first foray into the symphonic genre, and while it was largely forgotten for many years, it has been rediscovered in recent decades. The work is filled with the expressive melodies and rhythmic vitality that are characteristic of Dvořák’s mature style. The symphony's nickname, The Bells of Zlonice, refers to the bells that Dvořák heard in his hometown of Zlonice, which inspired the thematic material in the first movement. This LP captures the power and emotional depth of the symphony, making it a valuable piece for classical music lovers and Dvořák enthusiasts.
