Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Dvořák is my favorite composer ever. I just love his Stabat Mater. I borrowed it from the library years ago and fell in love with it. I finally got a recording of it for Christmas and I LOVE LOVE LOVE listening to it. Plus, he's a Bohemian (I have some roots there...) and he has a bit of a resemblance to Raphael: [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Dvorak_1868.jpg"]Wiki Photo[/url] That's about it. I just wanted to express my love for Dvořák. Thank you and good day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

picchick Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I support this thread. I am a fanatic of this composer!!! He is my favorite next to John Phillip Sousa Listen to his New World Symphony and this Americana Symphony. His Slavic Dances are great too. This guy hasn't written anything I don't like!!

My sister just performed a movement from New World in orchestra in the fall. I have a few other recordings of his works on my computer. The Czech Suite is good too. There is one string quartet (I think) that I really enjoy as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kafka Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 his Serenade for Strings is sublime. I think I will listen to that today. Thanks for showing the love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhetoricfemme Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I don't think I've listened to Dvorak in years. I should revisit him. Tchaikovsky, however, makes me uber happy! Marche Slave is amazing. And the Nutcracker Suite is my very favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
