dvorak visited america from 1892-1895. in 1893 he wrote his symphony no. 9. the second movement "largo" is among a family favorite. i have numerous renditions of it. all lovely. johnny sent me this link after my last post. i can't wait to show it to gram. it encompasses many things she loves. dvorak, andre rieu, sheep and johnny! she remembers that a version of this music was played at her mother's funeral. gram was but 15 years old. for all those who will still be alive - i want this played at my funeral too!
ps - watch the movie "paradise road". it's a tear jerker but has an inspiring rendition of the "largo". auntie mae first told me about it. if you can't find it, borrow mine.
