laetitia crucis Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 The only thing that I'm not so fond about is his orchestration of FLUTE parts. When the New World Symphony, I think his best friend must have been the 2nd flutist. They get all the good solos. AMD they get to double on piccolo. Not cool, Antonin. Not cool. As the 1st flutist, I'd give him a -1 for that. Other than that... I do love him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeresaBenedicta Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Funny you should post this... Just yesterday I was walking down the hallway at my college and I heard a violin playing something from his Symphony No. 9. I was supposed to be in Moral Philosophy, but I couldn't help stopping to listen for a bit. I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jiyoung Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 You should listen to his opera Rusalka, specifically the aria Song to the Moon (don't know the Czech name), sung by Renee Fleming. So beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kafka Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 found a pretty darn good first movement of his serenade for strings by a Japanese chamber group: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BI_Htx5n1wc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
