Antonin Dvorak - The New World Symphony

Dvorak - Humoresque (Rudolf Firkusny)

Dvorak and his family in New York

Dvorak - Biblical Songs (by Bernarda Fink)

A love of classical music begins early. When my daughter was collicky as a baby, I played the New World Symphony to calm her down. Today, it remains a favorite for the whole family.

Dvorak - Cello Concerto Op. 104 (by Jian Wang-Gustavo Dudamel and the Simon Bolivar Youth Sympohny)

For the Dvorak Cello Concerto, I would suggest the Fournier, which is on youtube. That is the one I listen to, anyways. The Feuermann one is still the best, followed by the Rostropovich with Karajan, the Casals, the Rose, and the Fournier (with Szell).

I'm a cellist.

The version of Dudamel (beyond cello) has the strength of youth...

The concerto rants a bit, though.
My preference... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25LaOo...

Did you know Dvorak loathed the cello!

Sure, Rebecca!!!
