Dvořák completely knocked the Americans’ socks off with his Symphony ‘From the New World’. He used old slave songs to compose a symphony bursting with vitality. Korngold’s virtuoso Violin Concerto takes us to Hollywood and is reminiscent of the atmosphere of timeless film classics. And the Flemish composer Daan Janssens shares his ideas about the possibility of a New World: utopia, dream or nightmare?
