Dvorak's works combine sophisticated classical forms, romantic musicality, and Czech national identity. This collection features three works from a period in Dvořák's life when he was at a turning point in his career. The Serenade for Strings, which led a poor musician to become a successful composer overnight. Silence in the Woods," which was written when he moved to the United States and began teaching at the new National Conservatory of Music. After his time in New York, he returned to Bohemia and composed the "Cello Concerto". Today, it is a masterpiece that is performed more frequently on the world stage than any other concerto.
