Freak of Nature - Gathering Of Freaks - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The Philharmonie Sudwestfalen and it's chief conductor, Nabil Shehata, offer us repertoire rarities of the highest artistic quality and one of the milestones of the repertoire. On the orchestra's second recording with GENUIN, the agile North Rhine-Westphalian state orchestra presents works by Antonin Dvorak on a double CD. In addition to the InchSymphony From the New WorldInch, the album includes the early, rich 3rd Symphony of the Bohemian master and two of his late symphonic poems InchThe Noon WitchInch and InchThe Water GoblinInch. A fascinating cross-section of Dvorak's work, from his Richard Wagner-influenced beginnings to maturity. Album Tracks 1. Der Wassermann Op. 107 - Allegro Vivo 2. Sinfonie NR. 3 Es-Dur Op. 10 3. Die Mittagshexe Op. 108 - Allegretto 4. Sinfonie NR. 9 E-Moll Op. 95 InchAus Der Neuen WeltInch
