Of all orchestras and choirs, these are the ones to bring this stirring and rarely performed work to life. Recently reunited with beloved conductor Jiří Belohlávek, the Czech Philharmonic has long had a special connection to Dvořák, who conducted its debut performance in 1896 at the Rudolfinum in Prague. "In works by Dvořák... unbounded lyricism and Czech melancholy emerged with the authenticity that only this orchestra can bring, and they delivered with discipline" (The Guardian, UK). Dvořák's beautiful, tender choral work is a rare liturgical setting of mourning and healing.
