Mozart and Dvořák

Melodies flowed from Dvořák’s pen with an ease otherwise seen only in Mozart, the composer he admired above all others. After conquering the world with his delightful Slavonic Dances, his Seventh proved that he could also hold his own among the great symphonists. ‘A kind of Brahms but more spontaneous,’ wrote the British press after the premiere. That brings you close to Mozart indeed.
