The Ninth Symphony, which Antonín Dvorák himself titled ‘From the New World’, was a huge success when it premiered on 16 December 1893 at Carnegie Hall in New York: ‘The newspapers say that never before has a composer enjoyed such a triumph.’ However, it was by no means uncontroversial – Dvorák had been invited to the USA and given the task of creating an American national music. He therefore studied the music of the indigenous population, the descendants of slaves and various other inhabitants, and created the symphony with all these sources in mind. Though many critics did not consider that the goal of an authentic American national music had been achieved, the work itself belongs until today to the most popular symphonies ever written.
