Antonín Dvořák: Symphony No. 9 “From the New World”
Conductor: Sergiu Celibidache
Orchestra: Münchner Philharmoniker, 1991
1. Adagio – Allegro molto 00:54
2. Largo, 12:56
3. Scherzo/Molto Vivace 29:55
4. Allegro con fuoco 39:22
I am not such a connoisseur of conductors, but Sergiu Celibidache, much like Christian Thielemann, really makes a difference, it seems. What a wonderful piece, wonderfully performed.
Happy Thanksgiving (week), everyone!
This symphony was my first introduction to the world of classical music. My parents were probably so relieved I found it as a teenager among their lps and played it. I loved its boldness and true sense of discovery. Thank you!

I know that you have already had your Canadian Thanksgiving Day, but I guess the spirit of Erntedank is not restricted to one day anyway. Happy Thanksgiving then, if belated, to you and yours. 🙂

You are so right, Anne. There should be Thanksgiving in our hearts every single day of the year.
