Antonín Dvořák made himself immortal with his last symphony. Since its premiere, Dvořák's Symphony "From the New World" has been a real hit in classical music. The symphony even made it into space: in June 1969, Neil Armstrong took a recording of the work with him on the moon rocket. Even though Dvořák's "Ninth" has been appropriated as American national music, it actually represents a synthesis of the most diverse musical influences. In this sense, it is a veritable "melting pot" - and therefore once again quintessentially American. "The guy has more ideas than all of us," Johannes Brahms is said to have said of Dvořák. Brahms himself came up with wonderful musical ideas for the violin concerto he wrote for Joseph Joachim in 1878. With the American violinist Hilary Hahn, one of the greatest violin virtuosos of our time, and the South American conductor Andrés Orozco-Estrada at the podium, the Munich Philharmonic's focus on America comes to a close with this concert.
