It was a resounding success: people trampled and applauded wildly, composer Antonín Dvořák had to show himself and accept the ovations. Since its premiere in New York's Carnegie Hall in 1893, the 9th Symphony has enjoyed success around the globe and is still one of the most frequently performed symphonic works today. The nickname "From the New World" is programmatic. Dvořák wrote the work during a three-year stay in the USA - and to a certain extent also for the USA. He was to take up a post as a teacher at a university and create a kind of "American national style". However, the Bohemian idiom, the melodies and ländler from his Czech homeland dominate the symphony "From the New World". The audience didn't care, until today.

Hansjörg Albrecht, the Bergson Principal Organist, plays the famous piece in an organ arrangement that brings out all the tonal subtleties and the great symphonic power. Especially when the sound comes from different directions and takes place in different acoustics, as is usual with Orgelsound 360°.

Hansjörg combines Dvořák with other American gems on the organ: George Gershwin's wonderfully jazzy "Preludes for Piano" and Charles Ives' effect-laden, gaudy "Variations on America".

With the kind support of the Orgelhaus im Stiftland.
