Donald Macleod explores the music associated with Antonin Dvor谩k's many visits to Britain.
Dvor谩k was first invited to Britain by the Royal Philharmonic Society in 1884, to conduct a concert of his own music. Dvor谩k was almost overwhelmed by his experience of the metropolis - aghast at its sheer size. That first visit was the beginning of what proved to be a lasting, important relationship. Dvor谩k would return to these shores nine times, and came to be dubbed "the Bohemian Brahms'. He became so famous that his face appeared on one of the Wills cigarette cards.
