Performances of Dvorák’s music in cities all over Britain helped to ensure a continued demand for the works he wrote especially for that country. He composed the cantata The Spectre’s Bride during the period May-November, 1884, with the first performance taking place in Birmingham the following year. Tradition has it that Dvorák himself conducted the choir of around 400 voices and an orchestra of 150 musicians. There were many more performances of the cantata in Great Britain and the USA during the year following its première. This helped secure Dvorák’s prominence and popularity among Anglo-American audiences, an advantage which has never really waned since.
“Meister, one of Germany’s rising conductors, makes a strong case for it with his Viennese forces and Slovakian and Czech soloists. Simona Saturova is steely, if occasionally unsteady, as the distraught Bride, Pavol Breslik’s lyric tenor expands into the Spectre’s strenuous music, and Adam Plachetka...is an exemplary narrator, leading the commentating chorus.” The Sunday Times
