Dvorak - New World Symphony (Full) 

As a boy it was my dream to play this in an orchestra. I'm proud to say I've performed it 3 times. There is nothing as sublime as being inside this cloud of music performing for a group of people.

It's a sad reflection on RU-vid that this amazing piece is interrupted, ruined and blasted midway by a mortgage company ad.

what kind of monster places ads in the middle of this masterpiece?!?

My father fled Czechoslovakia in 1938. He was born in Michalovce in 1901 and would have loved this music, as I do. I was born in Paris, France, in 1943 and was in Normandy on D-Day, as a baby. Lucky to be able to listen to this gem. I still have all of my mother's 78s. Thank you. Michel

That sensation when you try to remember when and where you heard this... just to realize it was in Barbie Rapunzel

I dont know how many people know this but this was the first piece of music ever played on another celestial body. Neil Armstrong couldnt have picked a more fitting music. "from a new world" was a verry fitting name for music which was eventually played on the surface of a completely alien world. When I listen to it, Sometimes I close my eyes and imagine looking up at the Earth from the barren surface of the Moon.

For me, as a Czech person, Dvořák's music is kinda melancholic and nostalgic. It just makes me feel I'm happy to be Czech.

I fell in love with this classic, while playing poker in the frat house dining room; it was my introduction to classical music, and since then, I’ve enjoyed it live by the Philadelphia Orchestra several times, attending with some of my kids! Right now I’m listening to it on my iPhone, while in my nursing home bed at age 80

Growing up, we did not have much. I found an old gramophone - a wind-up His Master’s Voice and just 2 larger diameter 78 RPM records. One was Dvorak’s New World Symphony, and the other was Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade. As a young boy of 15, I dusted off that old gramophone and played those records over and over again for years, till the needle on the HMV wore out. All my neighbors were playing their expensive stereos while I sat close to wind the machine so the music would not run out and listened to amazing sounds coming through the large horn from the gramophone … with my eyes closed and my mind tuned to a time which I imagined, as my soul drifted to a far-away place. And so began my fondness of classical music, even more so than it did when I was introduced to it one evening in my boarding school’s principal’s bungalow as I heard sounds that I’d never heard before, over his “foreign” stereo. My principal was a gracious man, with a large nurturing heart. I clearly remember him sitting us choir boys down on the floor of his living room one evening, pulling out an LP, reading the history of the music and its composer and then … playing whatever album played that evening. I don’t remember what he played. It was after I graduated from boarding school when I discovered the HMV gramophone and the 2 LP’s on a dusty old, rickety shelf, high up in the ceiling space, among the rafters in our apartment … and so began my journey to what I love - the peace, serenity, controlled tension, calculated movements and so much more that stirs a human soul in classical music - if the soul will only pause … and listen.

I was lucky enough to play this with a full orchestra. Nothing like playing live music surrounded by good musicians. The lift you get from an appreciative audience is a special feeling

Our nation might be small compared to large empires that rule the world, but our hearts are big and we love our small corner of the universe.

It's nice to see people of all ages, backgrounds, and ethnicity enjoying this piece of music the same way. Music really is universal

Now I understand everything. This CD was put on the radio in Tacna, Peru, when I did not have access to the Internet and and I did not know what authors and I did not know the names of these themes. But I never forgot the melodies. I have long known who the authors are and what the themes are. But now that I listen to this video, it reminded me of that remote afternoon when I lay in my bed listening to the radio for the first time the same melodies that I have heard now. Everything was so different back then.

I love reading everybody's memories. Classical music is magic guys. Keep the stories coming. 🧡

As a one piece fan and classical music enthusiast, this was the perfect moment for me

Dvorak was very hopeful about the New World and not disappointed! He moved to the U.S. in 1892 in search of new musical inspiration to become the director of the new National Academy of Music in New York City; its mission was to create "a national musical spirit." It provided an affordable musical education for two generations of students, including Dvorak's afro-american student Henry Burleigh. Dvorak subsequently moved to Spillville Iowa, home to many Bohemian settlers, where he heard black spirituals and the rhythms of native-american drums and composed the New World symphony.

The Largo section is easily one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written.

The 4th movement is sooooooooo gooooooood. It's epic, it's dramatic, it's beautiful, it's just so good. The texture in 36:48 makes me feel so much feels.

"Largo" makes me feel like you're watching the sunrise on a majestic mountain and then go on through a beautiful forest, coming by all kinds of nature, a deer, a river, then on top of a hill you look down on another range of mountains. It's one of those pieces that truly takes your mind on a whole trip

As a Slovak/Czechoslovak, I´m very proud of this beautiful piece, love from Slovakia

This symphony does not get enough credit for the progression of music in America he was an innovator America likes to portray him as somebody who was influenced by certain kinds of American music but actually he progressed American music

i’ve been going through a very hard time in my life right now and i have recently discovered the way classical music makes someone’s very soul feel like it’s floating and i just am very thankful for this art

As a teenager in the late '60s, for one entire school year I would come home every day from school, drape myself over a chair in front of the console stereo and listen to this symphony at least once. It is in my bones still and always brings me joy when I hear it.

Such a gift Dvorak gave us Americans, reflecting the gorgeous and vibrant folk themes of our new world. I've always been both proud and grateful of this unique tribute.

Dvorak did not need to go this hard, this is amazing and I always loved New World symphony, and the third movement is underrated

I remember 33:54 from when I saw a crocodile get beaten up by a piece of rubber or something like that

I’ve played horn on this many times and will perform it again this weekend. It’s always thrilling. Such a masterpiece.

I'm a highschool musician in the Reading Symphony Youth Orchestra and we played this in the spring of 2019. It immediately became one of my favorites and I have listened to it almost every week since then. Our orchestra loved this piece and you could tell - we never sounded better. The joy and the adrenaline rush that this piece brings when you play it with a full orchestra is almost incomparable, and hearing it now from a professional orchestra with no out of tune notes and no missed entrances brings back so many memories of rehearsing this :)

As child, I used to listen to Dvorák with my dad. After 30 years, still my favourite symphony

A masterpiece that I have loved for 50 yrs. It has followed me in my life and given me comfort, something this old fool needs more now than ever.

That 4th movement tears my scalp off!! What a great summation!! A throbbing reckoning, a mighty totaling-up of accounts!! I’m 73 and when I die I pray that this is the theme I’ll be hearing be hearing as I go on to the next world. (They asked an old guru what it was like to die. He said, “No problem. It’s like taking off an old tight shoe.”) Ha!!

36 years old and I am hearing this for the first time. I'm jealous of people who've been listening to this for longer than I've been alive. It's... doing things to me. My dad died on December 28th 2017. I've never dealt with it. I've emotionally ran and hid, obfuscating the pain with TV and video games. But there's something so honest in this music. There's genuine suffering, I feel, in its commitment to sincerity. Life hurts, and it's okay to get damaged and be weak sometimes. But hiding from the truth doesn't help at all. Gotta accept the full truth for its agony, vexation, beauty, and splendor all.

To be honest, I am a metalhead. I do SlipKnoT and Dethklok singing and I live for Iron Maiden, yet I always come back to this piece. There is just so much raw emotion in this music that compels me to listen to it again and again, and never be bored of it.

When I was small child in the early 1960s my dad would sit with me on his lap in the dark and we'd listen to classical music on the record player. I know there were other pieces, but The New World Symphony is the only one I specifically remember from that time because I liked it so much. While we both enjoyed listening to music, neither of us was a musician. But his mother had been a classical pianist and violinist and my son is now a Doctor of Music and plays the violin in several decent orchestras, so I guess musical proficiency in the family skipped 2 generations.

This is the very first orchestra piece that had made such a profound impact to me. The last time I felt something like this, was with Mahler's Ressurection symphony. But this is something else. I can feel the New World coming. I can see the future. I can feel all the love and the frustration through the bloodshed pages of our history, and all this vibrant love and preparedness for a harsh but bright change.

I've seen a lot of amazing stories of how people found this song, mostly through a guy called Luffy, but ... I am utterly baffled on how nobody mentioned "The Wizard's last rhymes". Thank you, Rhapsody. As a Beethoven girl, through and through, you guys introduced this wonder to me. My favorite Symphony. The only thing that makes me sad is that I discovered it so late, and not in my teenage years, or else I would've listened to this through the worst period of my life... And probably would love it even more.

I first heard this many years ago watching Legend of the Galactic Heroes. I must say, it fits so perfectly with grand space battles in the background. A gorgeous masterwork. Before becoming disabled, I played 15 years of violin and 12 of piano. I have such fond memories of playing in orchestra throughout school and then in a Piano Trio for weddings after graduation. Practicing with a small group of musicians is such a joy, but rehearsal with a full orchestra - there is no equal. If you are out there and have even a modest aptitude for music, do yourself a favor and put in the effort. If life takes it away from you eventually, as it did me at age 25, you will be glad you did what you could with music while you were able. I know I am.

One of the greatest pieces of music of all time.

I was studying for my AP History class, listening to video game music when my dad recommended this. He studied with it in college at BYU, and it's cool to listen to the same tracks my dad did when he was a little older than me. Needless to say, orchestral music is incredible. Nothing beats it.

It will always be an honor for me to have played this art in an orchestra, only it was the adagio, but it was very important to me; ')))) *sorry for the english, i'm learning yet xd.

Many years ago, when I was a kid, my father would play classical music every Sunday. I'd groan when he did, but, in spite of myself, New World Symphony really began to grow on me. I love it.

This summer I went on a big trip. As I was in the plane I discovered the new simphony on one of the playlists of the plane itself. It was the best version I had ever listen to. I listened to it twice and so carefully as if I were actually going to discovere a new world, in my case a new continent. The msic was kept in my head for the whole vacation. When I was returning to my country I listened to it again with all my memories and images of all the great places I went flashing. This piece is really remarkable and so well written! I always thought that, but now more than ever.

Last century as a young man with my wife, we saw and heard this symphony played by the Vienna Philharmonic in that city’s music hall. Will never forget the experience.

I'm used to enjoy this fantastic music everytime I'm reading a book called "Phobos" because this piece of art showed me this musical piece of art.

My parents played classical music for me as a baby and throughout my childhood, and I fell in love with Dvorak when I was 13 and I felt the way his music shifted seamlessly from suspenseful to happy and then to somber. I love this whole piece, but 17:58 has to be the best line in the entire piece.

My father loved this symphony but I wasn't much into "modern" classical as an amateur pianist (more Chopin, Mozart, etc.). But I was on a trip to Avignon alone in 2002 and decided to go listen to a concert by high school orchestra one night, intending to listen to Rachmaninov. But they were also playing the New World Symphony in full boom and glory !!! My !! I was totally hooked and it has become one of my favourite pieces since. Thanks the school children who made it so memorable :-)

my parents had this album in their collection. Often when I was going to sleep at night I would hear it playing. I remember the cover. Hearing it was the first time I realized something so beautiful was painful, maybe because of how deeply it took me into myself.

je l'écoute depuis tellement de temps; J'envie les personnes qui l'a découvriront. Elle a bercé mon adolescence, mieux que que la pastorale en fait ; même œuvres

This still brings tears to my eyes even after the dozens of times I've listened to it. Absolutely stunning

The fact that I got an ad to watch for every 3 mins of classical music in this vid is solid proof that youtube platform has absolutely zero respect for art and audiences at all.

The whole symphony is great, but I just love the second movement. Maybe because it is my dad's favorite piece of classical music. He played it for me when I was little, and at that time I thought it was boring and didn't think much of it. But the melody and the memory of that moment sort of stuck to the back of my head and every now and then I would remember it. Later when I rediscovered it, I finally understood why he liked it so much. I wonder if he remembers that day when he played it to me the first time. Gotta call my dad tonight.

I remember watching one piece when i was a kid and then this work of art came up. I have never been as glued to the screen as i was then and i have never loved a piece music as much as this.

When I was a little boy at 9 yrs of age, my dad listened to the New World Symphony of Dvorak, and I had a chance to join in and listen to this symphony as well. I told myself why the music is so sad but very lovely! Now several yrs later I used to listen to this symphony from different conductors such as Hebert von Karajan, etc.. and I get addicted to this symphony if I again listen to this one! Dvorak is an immortal composer! And the entire word nations all admire him as long as his New World Symphony still being played everywhere around the whole world. Thank You Mister Dvorak for your Musical Wonder! Thoriel

My grandfather Rien, had this precious Gem chosen to be played at his funeral.. as a musician, he had many fans, friends and family .. the place was crowded with family and friends who patiently took with these sounds goodbye from one of my most inspiring teachers as a zen peacemaker❤ as his granddaughter, i never can listen to this symphony without crying😢

When my son was maybe 2 or 3, he repeatedly watched a show called Little Einsteins which featured classic art and music. Dvorak was always the music that stood out to me and because of that, this music will always and forever remind me of that time in our lives and bring a tear of joy to my eye.

I am proud that I am from Czech republic as Dvořák. Masterpiece!

Playing the first movement in orchestra was an unforgettable experience of my life. Love this piece so much

I played 'New World Symphony' nearly every day in the car when I took my daughter to kindergarten (she's now in her 40s). Tonight she called me to ask "What was the name of that composer and the symphony we listened to on the way to school?" We had a nice conversation about that and other things, but it's really clear that introducing kids to things you love is something they remember (even if they might be shaky on some of the details), and it means something to them. Anyway, I hadn't listened to it in forever, so I came here, rather than dig through my CDs to find it.

I rarely listen to classical music, today I decided to listen to a composition I was curious about, but I got distracted as it ended and... this started playing. I got completely caught up by it. I have to say, this is one of the most breathtaking pieces of music I have ever heard.

this is the soundtrack to the greatest western I never saw.

Thanks youtube for placing so far 6 adds strategically in the middle of a piece when I’m least expecting it, really adds to to atmosphere

J' ai offert cette symphonie sur un 33 tours à ma chère maman 💕 pour la fête des mères, j' avais cassé ma tirelire pour l' occasion. C'est toujours avec une grande émotion que j' écoute cette interprétation qui évoque un magnifique moment de ma vie 💞 merci à vous

I can fail my education, lose my job or get divorced. But such beautiful music will always stay and be with me when available.

Dvorak remains one of my favourite composers. His D major mass is just wonderful. I was the rehearsal pianist for a choir with it once. Life felt so good!

The most inspiring piece of music in my life - first heard it at 10 years old and still sounds wonderful when I'm touching 60. My love of all types metal also stems from this work. Wonderful.

Dude, I always come back to this one. One of the best symphonies ever without a doubt

i played this and can confirm: this shit fire

45:05, I have no words, it's just beautiful, as a cellist of seven years I'm always inspired listening to these beautiful works

The ads should not be cutting into this beautiful music.

La plupart des gens ne connaissent que la partie à 33:58. Or, La totalité de l'œuvre est sublime.

This is the symphony that got me into classical (in the wider meaning of the word) music. It's so nostalgic.

Probably the first piece I have ever heard that go me hooked on classical music. If anyone wants to be introduced to this genre this is the piece to listen to more than an other work for any starters. One of the greatest symphonies ever composed.

Hats of to the Slovak Phil on an excellent performance! An excellent recording too. But RU-vid, could you please have the decency to place ads between movements? Why do you insist on defacing great art?

1979 I studied this Symphony in my final school year… for some reason, Music was my best subject out of the six I studied…

Dvorak's first eight symphonies are excellent in their way, but with this one he went to a whole new level. Deservedly the most popular symphony ever written (according to many surveys).

Sitting here with our 5 days old granddaughter listening to this beautiful piece of music......

When I was 14 years old I played the oboe for the Brooklyn all borough orchestra and I had pleasure of learning and performing this piece. Listening to it always takes me back to those long pleasants summers of my youth in the mid 60's before all hell broke loose .

There's something great about playing this in the first day of the year...

I can listen to this extraordinary masterpiece for hours non-stop. One of the greatest pieces of music. It is just apotheotic! It moves me and lifts me up. II and IV movement is by far one of my favorites.

Hearing this again makes me miss HS when I played Upright Bass. We did this whole Symphony and the Grand Rapids Symphony Orchestra played it along with us. Truly an honor at the age of 16 to play this with Professionals and say we had this same sound.

I was 11 when I heard it, i’m 55 and still love it

I've been listening to this for 30 yrs. And it soothes My soul

This is more than just "classical music" this music is alive, and is not classic, is eternal

One of the greatest symphonies ever written performed to near-perfection. This is the most incredible version I have ever heard!

Memories as a kid in 1976 of the LA City Youth Band playing this and alot of other wonderful music. A bunch of high schoolers playing college level arrainged music. It was tremendously fun. Listening to it, is one thing, but getting to play it and being a part of the whole experience, just amazing.

I remember back in 1983 my first college roommate spent his scholarship money on a new Kenwood stereo and speakers! In his vinyl collection he had this album. I would study with this album every week. Today 7/14/2022 I am enjoying those rapturous melodies again and falling in love with it all over again. BEAUTIFUL Thank You

I'll be in Pittsburgh on May 6th listening to the symphony playing this piece

My late father used to love this…

After our 78’s and LP’s were put aside, it’s after years that I’m listening to this beautiful symphony once again.So soothing!

During my junior year I had the opportunity to attend Symphony School of America in Dodgeville Wisconsin. We performed only the last movement of this wonderful symphony, but as soon as I got back home, I knew I had to hear the whole piece. I bought the pocket score and Carl Fischer's music store downtown and a recording with the Chicago Symphony and Fritz Reiner. This piece made a huge impression on me which endures to this day.

My favorite symphony!🌏🎻🎼 Brings me back 40 years to my high school days. We recorded this piece on an album,and played at Orchestra Hall in downtown Chicago. 🤗

33:54 and beyond is the most beautiful musical piece I have ever heard.

I grew up in New Jersey, but my parents would travel into Brooklyn where my grandparents had a beautiful RCA player. It only played 78 RPM speed records. I would stack up 6 or 7 of them and play the beautiful classical music, and then turn them over when played. I think you only got about 10 minutes on each side. They were heavy and VERY breakable, so you had to be careful. Your memory brought back one of mine- thanks.

A perennial work by the master Antonin Dvorak that has captivated audiences for generations. In this symphony, Mr. Dvorak captures the full range of the human experience while doing so in a beautiful and accomplished way that has been a favorite wherever and whenever played. It is not unexpected that a part of the symphony, written with lyrics entitled "Goin Home", was played at the funeral ceremonies for President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Ronald Wilson Reagan. Memorable and inspirational all at the same time.

I love this symphony so much. It expresses the hopes of the New World and the soul of the Old World, where my grandparents came from. A true anthem.

This is by far best piece of music ever writen by any Czech musician, and one of best ever writen by anyone

I have been writing my ph.D for about 3.5-4 years with 2 little kids @home. I listen this piece every single time when i am writting on laptop. and the whole rhytm&sound gives me whole new perspective- to concantre and many other things among the journey; thanks for this classical experience

This is the very first piece of music my father introduced me to, at age 5, I sat on his lap, in awe, and listened. 💛🙏💛

I would like o thank Two Set Violin for making me want to search for classical music just for the joy of it!
