Everything Czech was suffused in humane decency. Well, Dvořák's music is still here, and will be as long as there is a world. Thank you, Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra. A lovely performance.

      Most orchestral pieces don't need a conductor, once an agreement has been reached on tempo and general interpretation. In an ensemble like this, a conductor is just PR. A conductor of this ought to feel a bit of a jerk conducting he or she would know if they were honest that they were surplus to requirements. Lovely piece by the way.

      Yeah, it's very interesting in how the orchestra hierarchy actually works. If there is no concertmaster, the very first violin is in charge. If the concertmaster is doing a bad job, the orchestra will turn to the first violin to lead them. Both with or without concertmaster though, the orchestra always keeps in check with the rest and with a good concertmaster that knows it's orchestra, everything becomes whole (including said master!). It's amazing to see, and even more amazing to experience it for yourself, that incredibly unity! :)

    This always makes me cry. I don't know, Dvorak just makes me sensitive for some reason.
    It feels like capturing somebody experiencing a change of heart and we all get to observe. Watching somebody struggle with a deep feeling and being vulnerable but generous of the heart - becoming determined while not foregoing the past. Very wholesome. Clearly a lot of the musicians were feeling it too.

    I wish you all that are reading this while travelling on Dvorak's windy wings, an awesome end of the morning, from France !
    May the rest of your day be as generous and lively as this enchanting interpretation.

    I do believe if on a desert island with no loop available but the Tchaikovsky string serenade and the Dvorak string serenade there would be little for me to consider. So far as concept and originality of form and execution but chiefly for “transluxence” of soul with profundity of sheer sonic beauty; Antonine Dvorak struck a vein of pure musical joy that is just miraculous! I feel that I simply would not grow tired of it for finding new levels of utterance and perspective to enjoy with each hearing. This masterpiece exemplifies the preeminence of music above all the art forms. Hands down! Paul W. Green

    I repeat. “Music expresses wordless odyssey’s”. These fiddlers are exceeding suave musicians. This rendition was filled with expansive enlightenment which brings to mind the words of Plato, “like a fair breeze from a purer region.” It is eleven-ten p.m. June sixteenth twenty-nineteen. This serenade is inspired and inspirational! It calls to mind the old “LP” I purchased in about 1972 featuring the Berlin Philharmonic orchestra with Herbert Von Karajan in the serenade for strings by Tchaikovsky. I greatly admire that piece but the Dvorak was simply conceived on a much higher plane and fleshed out with such fervent ardent spirituality. This performance is so special on several levels. The laser beam focus and precision of this band carried me aloft in a way quite unexpected for a work so very familiar. The freshness of approach and lovely musicality is like a beautiful diadem crowning the close of a most auspicious day. And for me it has been exactly that! I am so glad this masterpiece came to mind and I happened upon this video. Thank you, thank you,thank you! When I think on the crass descent of this present world into the mindless expressions that pass as music and entertainment; it is art like this serenade that buoys my mind and spirit to remind me that God, indeed, has not forsaken the earth. I glory in the reality of truth that gives me the power of perspective to see and appreciate the glory of THE LORD JESUS that excels anything and everything. Consequently, I have the joy of understanding great music from the inside out and back again and the personal contentment in knowing that the “spirit of man is the candle of the Lord searching all the inward parts of the belly.” HE is also the creator of every concept. With highest regards, Paul W. Green

    Just like delivering good news to someone has a positive rub-off effect on the messenger, performing Dvořák's Serenade is really a very therapeutic endeavor for performers. There is so much 'pure goodness' in it. Somehow even the moments which could cast a gloomy shadow - light melancholy of the Waltz, or the fragility of the opening of Larghetto - retain the wonderfully cloudless atmosphere... The remarkable thing about Dvořák's Serenade - this 'cloudless goodness' is fully sufficient for sustaining meaningful communication for nearly half an hour of music.
