Introduction
Dvorak's aesthetics come to fruition in this performance with the Vienna Philharmonic.
Herbert von Karajan, the great conductor who reigned supreme in the classical music world of the 20th century with his exceptional musicality and charisma, presents Symphony No. 8, one of Dvorak's most popular symphonies, alongside Symphony No. 9 "From the New World." From the "Karajan Legacy" series, which Karajan energetically worked on in the 1980s, Karajan's Symphony No. 8 is one of Dvorak's most popular symphonies. Karajan, leading the Vienna Philharmonic, beautifully expresses Dvorak's distinctive lyrical musicality and pastoral, naturally colored musical ideas.
