Antonin Dvorak / Baltimore Symphony Orch/ Alsop - Symphony 6 / Scherzo Capriccioso / Notturno

Widely acclaimed for their Naxos recordings of Dvorák's Symphonies Nos. 7 and 8 and No. 9 'From the New World' with the Symphonic Variations, Marin Alsop and the Baltimore Symphony here present his Symphony No. 6, which at once pays tribute to Dvorák's mentor Brahms and to the rich folk music of his Bohemian homeland, together with one of his most successful works, the waltz-like Scherzo Capriccioso, and the Nocturne, an arrangement for string orchestra of the beautiful slow movement from his Fourth String Quartet.
