It's a sad reflection on YouTube that this amazing piece is interrupted, ruined and blasted midway by a mortgage company ad.

As a boy it was my dream to play this in an orchestra. I'm proud to say I've performed it 3 times. There is nothing as sublime as being inside this cloud of music performing for a group of people.

[markcole]

I was lucky enough to play this with a full orchestra.
Nothing like playing live music surrounded by good musicians.
The lift you get from an appreciative audience is a special feeling

[oldfrend]

what kind of monster places ads in the middle of this masterpiece?!?

[NaseRote-kcuz]

My grandfather Rien, had this precious Gem chosen to be played at his funeral.. as a musician, he had many fans, friends and family .. the place was crowded with family and friends who patiently took with these sounds goodbye from one of my most inspiring teachers as a zen peacemaker❤ as his granddaughter, i never can listen to this symphony without crying😢

I fell in love with this classic, while playing poker in the frat house dining room; it was my introduction to classical music, and since then, I’ve enjoyed it live by the Philadelphia Orchestra several times, attending with some of my kids!

Right now I’m listening to it on my iPhone, while in my nursing home bed at age 80

When my son was maybe 2 or 3, he repeatedly watched a show called Little Einsteins which featured classic art and music. Dvorak was always the music that stood out to me and because of that, this music will always and forever remind me of that time in our lives and bring a tear of joy to my eye.

My father fled Czechoslovakia in 1938. He was born in Michalovce in 1901 and would have loved this music, as I do. I was born in Paris, France, in 1943 and was in Normandy on D-Day, as a baby. Lucky to be able to listen to this gem. I still have all of my mother's 78s. Thank you. Michel

For me, as a Czech person, Dvořák's music is kinda melancholic and nostalgic. It just makes me feel I'm happy to be Czech.

I dont know how many people know this but this was the first piece of music ever played on another celestial body. Neil Armstrong couldnt have picked a more fitting music. "from a new world" was a verry fitting name for music which was eventually played on the surface of a completely alien world. When I listen to it, Sometimes I close my eyes and imagine looking up at the Earth from the barren surface of the Moon.

That 4th movement tears my scalp off!! What a great summation!! A throbbing reckoning, a mighty totaling-up of accounts!! I’m 73 and when I die I pray that this is the theme I’ll be hearing be hearing as I go on to the next world. (They asked an old guru what it was like to die. He said, “No problem. It’s like taking off an old tight shoe.”) Ha!!

I played 'New World Symphony' nearly every day in the car when I took my daughter to kindergarten (she's now in her 40s). Tonight she called me to ask "What was the name of that composer and the symphony we listened to on the way to school?" We had a nice conversation about that and other things, but it's really clear that introducing kids to things you love is something they remember (even if they might be shaky on some of the details), and it means something to them. Anyway, I hadn't listened to it in forever, so I came here, rather than dig through my CDs to find it.

[jdaniel]

Now I understand everything. This CD was put on the radio in Tacna, Peru, when I did not have access to the Internet and and I did not know what authors and I did not know the names of these themes. But I never forgot the melodies. I have long known who the authors are and what the themes are. But now that I listen to this video, it reminded me of that remote afternoon when I lay in my bed listening to the radio for the first time the same melodies that I have heard now. Everything was so different back then.

Hearing all these personal stories connected to this symphony is incredibly moving; it really showcases the power of music to transcend time and place.

[sheilaghbill]

Breathtaking piece. I was privileged to hear it last night at the Segerstrom. Played by the Vienna Symphony Orchestra to a standing ovation.

Growing up, we did not have much. I found an old gramophone – a wind-up His Master’s Voice and just 2 larger diameter 78 RPM records. One was Dvorak’s New World Symphony, and the other was Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade. As a young boy of 15, I dusted off that old gramophone and played those records over and over again for years, till the needle on the HMV wore out. All my neighbors were playing their expensive stereos while I sat close to wind the machine so the music would not run out and listened to amazing sounds coming through the large horn from the gramophone … with my eyes closed and my mind tuned to a time which I imagined, as my soul drifted to a far-away place. And so began my fondness of classical music, even more so than it did when I was introduced to it one evening in my boarding school’s principal’s bungalow as I heard sounds that I’d never heard before, over his “foreign” stereo. My principal was a gracious man, with a large nurturing heart. I clearly remember him sitting us choir boys down on the floor of his living room one evening, pulling out an LP, reading the history of the music and its composer and then … playing whatever album played that evening. I don’t remember what he played. It was after I graduated from boarding school when I discovered the HMV gramophone and the 2 LP’s on a dusty old, rickety shelf, high up in the ceiling space, among the rafters in our apartment … and so began my journey to what I love – the peace, serenity, controlled tension, calculated movements and so much more that stirs a human soul in classical music – if the soul will only pause … and listen.

This symphony does not get enough credit for the progression of music in America he was an innovator America likes to portray him as somebody who was influenced by certain kinds of American music but actually he progressed American music

[Kikisaurus_]

As child, I used to listen to Dvorák with my dad. After 30 years, still my favourite symphony

[KateBrice-ek]

Hearing about everyone's personal connections to this symphony is truly special; it's amazing how Dvořák's work transcends generations and cultures to evoke such profound emotions.

During my junior year I had the opportunity to attend Symphony School of America in Dodgeville Wisconsin. We performed only the last movement of this wonderful symphony, but as soon as I got back home, I knew I had to hear the whole piece. I bought the pocket score and Carl Fischer's music store downtown and a recording with the Chicago Symphony and Fritz Reiner. This piece made a huge impression on me which endures to this day.
