The National Symphony Orchestra and I are proud to present this debut album featuring Dvorak: Symphony No. 9 and Copland: Billy the Kid on our new label.
These live recordings were made at our home, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. It is only fitting that this recording, made in June 2019, is dedicated to two composers who contributed greatly to the tapestry of American music.
America’s vastness and diversity are on full display in these two works by Antonin Dvorak and Aaron Copland. It took two individuals from very different backgrounds to give us some of the foundational works on which the American sound has continued to be built over the decades.
When I listen to Copland’s Billy the Kid, I immediately envision the frontier of the American West. It is a source of constant fascination to me that the composer of this quintessential American sound was born in Brooklyn to a family with Russian origins. Inspired by American folk songs, African American spirituals, and Native American songs, Dvorak’s Symphony No. 9, “From the New World”, was composed during the composer’s years in New York and weaves these American sounds into his rich and lush orchestral language.
The cultural bridges built between Africa, Europe, and America allowed artists from these continents to nurture each other and develop different perspectives and rich artistic languages. These compositions are prime examples of those cultural connections and interactions.
We are pleased to have been able to record these live performances and we hope you will enjoy listening to them.
