These works of the quintessentially Czech composer Antonín Dvorák are, above all, enjoyable and perennial favorites of the Romantic repertoire. The concerts are performed by the Prague Symphony Orchestra and Chorus and the Prague Philharmonic Choir, with three leading Czech conductors on the podium: Petr Altrichter, Jirí Belohlávek and Libor Pešek.
