  Classical Classics - Dvorak's "New World" Symphony, Classical Notes, Peter Gutmann
Two of the greatest such “New Worlds” were led by Fritz Reiner and George Szell, who were born in Budapest but followed in Dvorak's footsteps and made careers in America.
Both Reiner's reading with the Chicago Symphony (on RCA CD 62587) and Szell's with the Cleveland Orchestra (Sony MH2K 63151, coupled with splendid performances of Dvorak's two preceding symphonies) are played with precision and loving care, moderately paced, and brim with graceful detail.
With seething melodrama and blazing intensity, Kabasta internalized the “New World” and transformed it into a tortured and desperate cry for a freedom he would never taste – distraught by his wartime role, he killed himself in 1946.

First, one might speak of the "New World" in a historical context, when discussing the voyages of Christopher Columbus, the Spanish conquest of Yucatán, etc. Second, in a biological context, one speaks of Old World and New World species.

 Notes on Symphony no. 8 (Antonin Dvorak)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Virtually from the night of its wildly successful New York premiere in December of 1893, Antonin Dvorak's last symphony has been the subject of an endless debate over the authenticity of its American credentials.
Interviewed by the New York Herald a few days before he finished the symphony, he declared, "I am now satisfied that the future music of this country must be founded upon what are called the negro melodies.
In the symphony that means relying heavily on an altered scale that appears frequently in fl song (and which Dvorak mistakenly believed also characteristic of Indian song), one that softens the drive toward resolution typical of most Western melody.

 New World Symphony: Antonin Dvorak
Symphony No 9 Op 95, 'From the New World'.
He was an optimist himself, a family man who loved travelling and meeting people, and the vigour and energy of his new home is evident in the symphony.
However authentically "American" the symphony may or not be, Dvorak's enthusiasm for native music was proved right, of course: not only had he anticipated 'world music' by nearly a century, but his symphony was an instant hit and is reputedly the most-played classical piece in the world.
