I'm currently standing in front of Dvoraks grave in Vysehrad, Prague and listening to this. It's so amazing.
That's got to be such a surreal experience
It really was, but it felt amazing :)
wow
That is a wonderful visual. I can’t imagine how monumentally moved I would be in the same situation. Cheers from the US!

When my dad died in car accident he was 45, local news announced his passing and funereal date trough public town broadcast and before the announcement this masterpiece was playing. To this day it reminds me how i was standing in opened window in my work, listening to this with tears in my eyes.
After many years this stll brings tears to my eyes... Many years ago my husband told me that this piece should be played at his funeral. At that time I thought that his funeral would be many years later than when he told me. At that time I had no knowledge whatsoever about what mental pain could do to a person, how it could bring that person on the brink of even thinking about taking their own life. My husband, however decidated he was to me and our children, had had so many years of fighting his "demons" as you might call them... finally came to a point in HIS life where he knew he could no longer fight. And even in taking the step to end his own life, he still wanted to leave something behind for me and our children. Feeling so sad that he had lost the fight against his inner demons, he STILL wanted to leave us with the promise of a better life, a "new world". He ended his life on 18th september 1992. And still left a note saying he wanted THAT song played at his funeral
For many years I fought against what he left us. I felt like he took the easy way out, and left us with the pieces. And yes, there was a time that I hated him for his choice.
Now, in 2019, I have learnt many lessons in life. Although I will never fully understand why he took that step on that particular day, I have learnt so much more about people. And now I think I know why he took that step, the only one he thought that there was left for him to take.
And, through (re)learning that, I have found that I still love him.
This september it will be 27 years ago that he traded this life for the next. He still guides our children. Not in a physical form, but in feeling, in still being there. In giving them (and me) tokens of his "being there".
So even now, I still get tears to my eyes. Not about what I have lost but about feeling (again) that he is still there for me and our children.
There is still an Angel Wing that watches over me when I go to sleep, and I wouldn't be surprised if that is him.
Dear Mdm,
As much as I can understand you wish to move on from this tragedy, I am sorry for your loss. I am glad that your husband has suggested this work of beauty as his means of saying: "Go on without me, my love." I presume he was a remarkable man.
And I want this, and the chorale from Holst's "Jupiter" to be played at my funeral, should any attend.
I'm so sorry to hear about your family's tragedy. Thank you for sharing this story
Thank you so much for sharing this story.
❤️
Has anything more beautiful than this ever been written? My god...
hymn of joy, 9th symphony, beethoven (just my opinion)
@@arnaudvoissiere8849 I love classical music from Beethoven onwards. Tchaikovsy, Brahms, Holst, and of course this. You can hear Tchaikovsky and Beethoven in this movement, and you can hear the influence this must have had on Holst's planets in particular.
It's beautiful. Of course, many people associate the main theme with Hovis Bread, due to the TV advert, and yet they miss so much by not hearing the entire movement or symphony.
It's the most beautiful piece of music ever written.
Little Beartoe DEBATEBLE, but it is very good
Little Beartoe you may be right
yes
one of the... but yes .)
yes, i agree
Maybe I'm not the only one crying...
We buried my mother a year ago today 4/24/20 from Corvid. If you are familiar with Graham Jackson. He was the soldier to play this melody and sang Going Home as they loaded FDR onto his train from Warm Springs. She took organ lessons from him.
The teacher told us that the homework would be about this piece of art. I sat down, low hopes and yet, I have been here for an hour now, listening to this.
Had this for my nans funeral today as she was born 19th April 1920 and sadly passed 21st July 2020
The last time I listened this masterpiece I was holding my mother's hand in the hospital ,at this moment she was pretty sure while listening to this that her days where going into an end, despite of a Life lived at his fullest,her Heart was terribly sad to have to leave so soon whithout time to say goodbye to us.. this music evoques the passion of life and the precious moments of every second of it ,thus no time to waste or to vanish before regreting of haven't live it .
In the memory of Simone Haar ,a woman of the XXTH century.
Hope to meet your soul when my life here ends.
Love you Mother.
I don't think you could have had a better song to see your mother off of this earth to. For me, I sang and played John Denver while she lay in her hospital bed and she was singing along with me. A few days later she was put in a coma and ended up passing away. Sad memories but beautiful music to always remind us of a mother's love. My condolences.
@@guibox3 thanks so much,hope she rest in peace too♥️☄️
" leave so soon *without time to say goodbye to us"
There is NEVER enough 'time' to say goodbye...never.😞
As a native Czech, this music reminds me of beautiful Bohemia and Prague. I love Dvorak so much. He is the by far the best composer of all time.
I AM AGREE WITH YOU
Suggest to just enjoy that beautiful sound.
What is best? Best amongst what?
I´m just happy to can hear that beautiful music.
@@jarleypiotrtchaikovsky I AM TRUST YOU, NICE TO MEET YOU
I got into this from Larry "wires" Fast...Synergy. He did a gret job. Like ELP doing Pictures at an a Exhibition. I'm 64, and latey I have been playing alot of jazz, but then I got into classical. My wire acthinks I'm getting better. Dvorak and so many others. I have a lot of musician friends who can't read music. I tell them they must. It is one thing to learn a song recorded by a group of musicians. It is another thing to learn a song where there 100's of interpretation of writen music. No one can tell you your wrong?
*The ‘jazzy’ bass pizzicato at **5:28** is one the best things in this movement!*
I was assigned this piece to play on the recorder in 7th grade. I always thought there was something different about it. I loved it from the beginning. I didn’t hear this version until later that year in 8th grade. I will always have a love for this song.
The oboe in this piece always feel like a sword going through the guts, this is one of the greatest pieces ever written and highly emotional. Makes me feel like living is worth it.
You mean the English horn?
0:53
@@cadengraham7579 Alt hobo.
English horn (by the way) is a wrong translation. One possibility is that "corps anglé" (bend body) was translated as "cor Anglais" (English horn)
It's neither English nor a horn.
@@BrennFilm A French horn looks more like a horn, but is it French?
I was just remembering the moment I sat in the audience of the regional Philharmonic listening as my college sweetheart played the opening oboe solo for this. I felt so proud of her, and moved because I knew the years of lessons and hard work it took for her to get there.
It's weird that no one's talking about the beautiful videography and editing.
It's typical fading in and out of frames. I can do this on my phone and I know nothing about editing. There's nothing special going on here. And some of the angles are bad.
@@swayjaayy5495 well i think this video is awesome. i am surprised you think like that.
John doesn't know what he's talking about. Filming performances like this well and with any kind of artistry is extremely difficult.
@@swayjaayy5495 the moment you think you know what you're talking about, it would have been better if you just didn't write anything..."And some of the angles are bad" ..my god..
It could be the scene of a movie.
The augmentation of the theme at 10:50 is just my favourite thing ever.
And the note - an accidental, or sharpened 2nd note in the scale of the piece's key, I think - that introduces it, lovely.
In my opinion, those are the most beautiful measures of music ever written. It feels like the accumulation of all worry is vanquished and the only feeling left is pure satisfaction, like the end of a war, a victory at last. This whole movement could be used in a montage of victory scenes, really.
It feels like the music is saying, "I just want world peace".
One of my favorite pieces. The small part at around 1:19 to 2:15 gets me every time. First time I heard this was while placing Sid Meier's Civilization. Finding this again on UA-cam felt kind of nostalgic.
I understand precisely what you feel. The first time I heard this was in a music exam. Years later, while playing Civ5, I heard this again and searched for it among all of its soundtrack! This is absolutely beautiful and one of my favorite compositions.
+Aad “Exciya” Groos Yeah I heard it while playing Civ 5 too! Also I think it is in the Lord of the Rings movies.
I wrote my father's obituary listening to this movement in 1991. I always bow my head when I hear it again and give thanks for a wonderful father.
Me too
THATS WHERE I HEARD IT! I could not understand where I had heard this wonderfully beautiful melody but of course! Civilization. Thank you
04:55 to 08:25 feels like I'm lost and sinking, and floating and wandering all at once. Simply beautiful 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I really love this part, too.
This is by far best piece of music ever writen by any Czech musician, and one of best ever writen by anyone
I am czech so I know about Dvorak as we learn about him also at schools. I love this 2nd movement most from his "New World Symphony". About inspiration for this Largo I have read he was heavily inspired by native American Indian legends (poem about Hiawatha - that was a indian chieftain) and also black music - nevertheless you can hear classic bohemian (czech) folk motives inspiration as well - perhaps connecting Europe / New World is the reason it's so beautifully going together. Dvorak spent several years in New York and I am happy his music made it to the souls of everybody around the world. This motive is simply immortal. In the end music is borderless.
The Largo; see the funeral of an Indian , and heare the river. The nature around you. Here the annimals jumping around. Beautiful
Piękna symfonia, a Largo to moja ulubiona część.
Pozdrawiam z Polski.
TLDR: Thank you very much for "representing" our nation.
For non-czechs - not everyone of us [obviously] is a cretin who knows about Dvořák (or other classical composers) just because we went to school. Some of us do actually enjoy music, and wouldn't be - in the slightest - tempted to drop such a brainfart (followed by jacking-off to trivia).
But majority of population of this effed-up planet constists of imbeciles, no way around it.
Makes sense that the dances with wolves soundtrack is heavily influenced by this, imo.
My favorite part of the movement is the recapitulation when it gets very soft and it ends up with just a few instruments and then I all comes back in the strings in forte and it sounds amazing
10:32 that is my absolute favorite melody out of all symphonic music I have ever heard.
Adagietto from Mahler #5.... Give it a listen...next gen, next level 😢😮
Absolutely beautiful.
This symphony is so beautiful. I can't understand why this masterpiece doesn't have at least 10m views.
When the way home plays on the speakers, you gotta head back.
Yes, one of my mothers favorites, she, alas did go home 2 1/2 yeas ago. Left a hole in heart. But I still listen for the wonderful memories. She started my classical journey when I was young.
Shun!
Song of my youth. The song that takes me home. Makes me very nostalgic.
When a genius meets a genius... My favorite piece of classical music
7:25 what's a deep and harmonious vibrato..... bravissimooooooo!!!! ❤
never thought id be able to listen to a 12 minute piece with so much pleasure..
Absolutely beautiful! Playing first chair cello for youth orchestra this summer, and my best friend has the oboe/english horn solos! Can't wait to start rehearsing!
What a beautiful beautiful song always makes me cry and it gets me right in the heart. I'm a 57yr young man and listening to this masterpiece stops one dead I their tracks .
3:02 always gets me. One of the most beautiful parts of this movement!
23 years ago as a bachelor leaving in seclusion understanding this part touched me to cry
每次看完，听完，我总会有要流泪的感觉。你可以想象，一流的指挥，一流的演奏家，如此认真谨慎的演奏，一丝不苟，让人敬佩！
That chord being led into at 10:55... so melancholy, yet beautiful.
I don't know about anyone else but this song made me think about sone of my favorite childhood memories. Thank you fr this experience 💖
The segment that starts from 3:04, the string parts, always gets me in a way that I can't describe. Music that transcends time and boundaries, such a lovely journey.
Sameeee it feels so beautiful and nostalgic ❤
absolutely love this,,,,one of the most emotionally touching pieces of music ever written,,,,brings tears to my eyes from 4.55 onwards
Překrásné dílo Českého hudebního skladatele Dvořáka pojednávajícím o rozloučení se se svou vlastí a příjezdem do nového světa s nadějí na lepší život.
Rest is paradise Alyn, Thank you for your service! We all love and miss you very much! Thanks for all the laughs and jokes
Linda demais. A emoção que essa música me passa é algo que realmente me deixa sem palavras.
The longing to come home from war, such deep sorrow..
Why has it not had that many views? it's one of the most beautiful pieces of music Ever.
My god this is absolutely breathtaking. Thank you, Misters Dvorak and von Karajan.
Wow what a beautiful performance and what a masterpiece from Dvorak, thank you UA-cam for existing!
I wonder if Howard Shore or the composers for Disney were at all inspired by Dvorak. His music greatly reminds me of The Lord of the Rings or Disney soundtrack.
Georgia Cylvia Psora Well John Williams was no doubt inspired by the beginning of the last movement of this symphony for his Jaws theme.
Yes of course. Men like Howard Shore have great knowledge about classical music and Dvorak is one of the most important. Wagner, Dvorak, Gustav Holt are some of those who have inspired the movies composers.
Listen to the final theme of Rogue One (When heroes die), it s a little the same than the 2nd movement
Even more so the great John Barry with the Dances With Wolves soundtrack. Some interesting connections between native Americans and this piece so it’s very fitting.
This and Smetana's Má Vlast are, I think, two masterpieces of Czech classical music. From Czech Republic with love 🙋♂️
No doubt about these two Blessings forever.
Prostě nádhera.. Ta melodie je uchvacující.
Beautiful! Magnificently Beautiful!!
The pause in the violin solo at 10:16--PURE GENIUS. What a great composer.
Ben Garrison This great composer Dvořák come from Czech Republic as me. Check also Bedřich Smetana, Má vlast, especially Vltava.
That pause had such a great effect!
❤❤❤
And then again at 10.19. Sublime.
I am fascinated by many of the comments posted about how it makes people feel. I am from the Southern United States and for whatever reason, this song takes me to the South...especially when the English Horn plays and I think about the "Dixie Days". I cannot explain why this is but it is fascinating how this song has touched so many people in so many different places and for me, this is what it stirs in my inner self. Of course, I could easily be convinced I need to listen to this in Prague as well.🙂
My heart is about to burst everytime i listen to this masterpiece
It brings me tears in my eyes as I finished one of the Little Einstein episode called ring around the planet 😢 I miss my childhood…
Finally, someone who remembers this song from that show that was my childhood too😢😢
Immer wieder ein Genuss,Herr Dvořák. Danke.
Brian May plays a portion of this melody in his guitar solo on the 2019 tour. Knew I'd heard it before!
The pause at 10:17 gets me every time.
Ben Garrison Damn, 2 years later and you were still listening to that song, I can barely listen to a song for a month, but I agree, this is an exception.
You're right... it's the same thing for me. Since my childhood, I listen this piece of music.
Dans un légato comme ça (spécialité de Karajan) la pause lui permet de faire un peu respirer le phrasé.
How did it get you
Tf it's Ben Garrison?
An incredible piece of music. He captures the spirit of the "New World" as none other.
(Sorry for writing in my native language. I don't think it's bad or good, it just is.)
Ez a tétel nekem eléggé fontos. Nagyon szeretem. Ez a szép dallam nekem sokat jelent, és örülök hogy ilyeneket meg lehet hallgatni, látni itt. Közben meg illúzióim pedig nincsenek: senkit semennyire sem érdekel már most ez, sajnos a mai világban bohóckodás egy ilyen előadás. A szép dolgokat tesszük tönkre, felejtjük el. Én csak köszönöm Dvoraknak, engem igenis jobb emberré tesz, amikor hallgatom. Csodálatos zene.
One of my favorite movements in all the music of this genre I've listened to. Ranks up there with movement 2 from Beethoven's Pastoral symphony 6.
The camerawork on this video is spectacular! An effort worthy of the masterpiece that is Dvorak’s Largo.
Něco úžasného.
Jedno z nejlepších, co kdy naše země Česká vyprodukovala a už nikdy nic podobného odsud nevzejde.
Ale nepovídejte..Lucka Vondráčková toho produkuje až požehnaně
@@majaljungdahl1855 vy porovnávate Lucii Vondráčkovou s Antonínem Dvořákem?
This is the nicest music which Dvorâk writed! Bravo my boy!
최고입니다^^ 마음이 따듯해지네요 ^^
I heard this music for the first time over fifty years ago. Fell in love on first hearing. Never saw it performed live by an orchestra - until last year. Was lucky enough to see it performed at St George’s Hall, Bradford, England last year.
3:03 ❤ absolutely out of this world
Me to brother.
Because it's coming from a different world, the new world...
I learned how to do this song on clarinet in the 6th or 7th grade and here I am whistling the tune like I never forgot

Never knew how moving this piece was until I had to write a report for music enjoyment class and this has so many things going on that I am in .. wow. Seasons change. He lived with birds. He was inspired by native culture. It all shows.
I've been looking for this since 2006
:o
glad you found it!
Well, after 10 years, here you are.
I'm Czech and i'm proud of it. And its neccesary to say, its very hard to be proud of anything at the present time in Czech Republic
Be strong Buddha tells us "All things must pass!"
Přesně, na tohle můžeme být hrdí vždy. A na Smetanu, Martinů atd.
too sad you're right bro
This is a gift to all of us.
Beautiful music,like we are flaying to the heaven..best of the best ones
i'm doing a music assignment and answering questions about this song, it's amazing.
Oddly enough, the show Portlandia brought me here. There was a short little song at the end of one of the episodes where someone sung a song at the tune to this.
Healing sound! Awesome sound!!! Came from heaven !!! 💐🥀🌷🌹🌼🌻🏵🌸🌺💮💐🥀🌷🌹🌼🌻🏵🌸🌺💮💐🥀🌷🌹🌼🌻🏵🌸🌺
Úžasné, a zas úžasné!
Sublime music that makes you dream.
simplesmente maravilhoso. obrigado!
Feel this.... the most beautifully mad piece of music ... made for mankind... tears... upon tears
Whenever i hear this music, i think of Saturn's rings
That show will never die. We all love Little Einsteins.
We shall never forget ❤️
I agree with all of you. it was a good show :(

Most recordings at 2:46 play that very weak, this performance is very good with the power
What a drop! :)
Such a beautiful piece indeed, one of my favourites.
Restrained but immensely evocative....beautifully refined and full of the joy of life.....
Finally found the piece from the SF Giants ad. It haunted me. So glad to find it. Magnificent.
Simplemente espectacular...relajante y traslada a las altas esferas del cielo.
So calming to my soul, and so needed in our troubled times.
I heard this lovely music as a child but never knew where to find it or what it was called, or who it was by, but last year, I found and purchased an inexpensive copy of DW Griffiths controversial film The Birth of a Nation and to my delight (horror?... it was played during the final third that is so absolutely racist it's basically unwatchable) and from there was able to track down this glorious music.
The oboe at the beginning and end is so beautiful I can hardly stand it; it exemplifies the very feeling of my nostalgic longing for the past, when things seemed so much simpler...
+G Hayes Fun fact, the solo instrument is actually called an English Horn. Its okay I mistook it the first time too.
+Cobalt Ruby No, I think that's an oboe... Long skinny instrument with a reed on top... looks like an extended clarinet. Oboe, yes? French horn is the beautiful horn that curves in a round shape and the player hugs into to play. The video plainly shows the soloist on an oboe. I'm pretty certain I'm right.
With all due respect, yes I KNOW what a French Horn is, in fact I play one. But, look up either Cor Anglais or English Horn on Wikipedia or something. Look, the Oboe and English Horn are really similar, but they aren't the same. If you don't believe me, thats completely fine, but I'm just saying some people use English Horns for Largo.
+Cobalt Ruby Ahhh, I see. Well why didn't you just say that in the first place, silly? The way your first reply is worded makes it seem as though you thought the soloist here was not playing an oboe 😄 French Horn would sound lovely instead of oboe, most definitely.
Yeah sorry, I didn't want to say "You're wrong" because that's impolite and immature. My bad, I've always been bad at wording things and it always leads to situations like this, heh heh.
Wow... beautiful.
It was sung in my native, country, then Czechoslovakia, now Czech Republic as the Lord's prayer at funerals. So very beautiful and moving and with a woman's angelic voice as well.
This is so beautiful and magical. I love Dvorak
I'm excited to play this in my orchestra class!
Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.
The most beautiful Violin and Cello harmony is at 10 min.! 😁
5:55 through 6:18 that major chord is my favorite part of this whole movement!
I wonder Nino Rota was inspired by that section for the Godfather theme. Bears a strong resemblance.
....es drückt so viel aus, die Sehnsucht nach einer neuen und besseren WELT! ANTONIN Dvorak war ein musikalisches Genie und Visionär!!!
DEZILE
We studied this in music class a few weeks ago. We had a listening map and everything, then we played Going Home on the glockenspiels and xylophones. It was fun.
Now that is really art.
It's just amazing! I wish I were playing with them.
is so beatiful no?
I LOVE!!
Playing this with my YOLA orchestra. I'm 2nd violin and its so beautiful. Can't wait to play it at our spring concert @ the walt Disney concert hall
Oh, the violin solo! Absolutely took my breath away.
