Antoni Wit

A native of Bohemia, Antonâin Dvorâak contributed much to the re-establishment of Czech national musical identity in the nineteenth century. It was the popularity of his choral music in England, however, that led to the development of the Mass in D from its smaller-scale original into a movingly dramatic and jubilant masterpiece with full orchestra. Dvorâak's celebratory Te Deum is comparable in form to a four-movement symphony. Conducted by Antoni Wit
