It is one of the most popular symphonies ever: Antonín Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9 in E minor, Op. 95 “From the New World.” Here, the masterpiece is performed by the Verbier Festival Orchestra under the baton of Neeme Järvi at the Verbier Festival 2012. (00:00) Coming on stage (00:27) I. Adagio. Allegro molto (12:16) II. Largo (23:29) III. Scherzo: Molto vivace (31:34) IV. Allegro con fuoco Antonín Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9 in E minor, Op. 95 “From the New World” is the musical testimony of a fusion of sounds from home and abroad. Although Dvořák composed the world-famous Ninth Symphony “in the spirit of American folk songs” during a stay in the USA, he actually invented the themes and motifs to be reminiscent of Bohemian folk tunes. Dvořák (1841-1904) had left his homeland of Bohemia (in what is today the Czech Republic) in 1892 for New York, where he was the Director of the National Conservatory of Music until 1895. Dvořák named the symphony he wrote in New York in 1893 “From the New World” after it was first published as Symphony No. 5. According to the composer, the symphony was intended to reflect his idea of the spirit of American music. Dvořák had listened to melodies of Native Americans and African Americans played to him to capture their musical spirit – he by no means wanted to completely replicate the music. In the second and third movements of “From the New World,” Dvořák also references the epic poem Hiawatha by U.S. author Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807 - 1882), which tells the story of the fictitious chief Hiawatha. But beyond the explicit agenda of writing the symphony “From the New World,” Dvořák also incorporated Bohemian folk music into his Ninth and drew from this mix a wealth of catchy melodies. It is the fusion of supposedly Native American and Bohemian folk music that gives Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9 its special appeal. The premiere on December 16, 1893, with the New York Philharmonic conducted by Anton Seidl, was a resounding success, as were the first performances in Europe. To this day, Dvořák’s Ninth Symphony is very popular with audiences. And astronaut Neil Armstrong even took it with him on the Apollo 11 mission that led to the first moon landing in 1969. Neeme Järvi was born in Tallinn, Estonia in 1937. He studied percussion and choral conducting at the conservatory of his native city before later pursuing his studies to become a conductor at the N. A. Rimsky-Korsakov Conservatory in then Leningrad. From 1963 to 1979, he held the position of Principal Conductor at the Estonian National Symphony Orchestra, and from 1964 to 1975, he headed the Estonian National Opera in parallel. Shortly after Järvi’s first performance at the New York Metropolitan Opera, in 1979, he emigrated to the USA. There, he soon began collaborating with the New York Philharmonic, the Philadelphia Orchestra and the San Francisco Symphony. In 1982, he became the Principal Conductor at the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, from 1984 to 1988, he headed the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, and from 1990 to 2005, he led the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. In 2005, Järvi became the Music Director of the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra and Chief Conductor of the Residentie Orkest The Hague. From 2010 to 2020, he acted as the Principal Director and Artistic Director of the Estonian National Symphony Orchestra, and he currently holds the title of Chief Conductor Emeritus at the Residentie Orkest The Hague and Music Director Emeritus at the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. In the course of his sixty-year career, Neeme Järvi has conducted over 150 orchestras. His discography comprises over 450 recordings – many of which award-winning. At the 2018 Gramophone Awards, he was bestowed the Lifetime Achievement Award for his extensive and high-quality range of works. Neeme Järvi is the head of a musical dynasty. His children are also very successful musicians: His sons Paavo and Kristjan have become conductors, and his daughter Maarika a flutist. There is a wealth of videos featuring Paavo Järvi on DW Classical Music.
