Dvorak

By Kurt Honolka

Kurt Honolka weaves the story of Dvorak’s life into the rich tapestry of the political and social tensions of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the twilight of its power. Honolka sets the scene for Dvoraks's 'American' music and his return from the United States, providing a facinating context for his most famous work, the Ninth Symphonie From the New World.

Kurt Honolka has translated the operas, songs and choral works of all the major Czech composers.
