Malaysian Po:Flor - Dvorak: Symphony No. 8

Following their recent recording of Dvorak's Symphony No. 7, Claus Peter Flor and the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra return with his Symphony No. 8.Symphony No. 8 is a lighter work than his Seventh. Its roots are firmly planted in the composer's beloved Czech folk�lore and, but it also has interesting parallels with Mahler's First Symphony. The work is coupled with the symphonic poem The Golden Spinning Wheel, based on an epic poem by the Czech poet Karel Erben, and followed by the shorter Scherzo capriccioso.
