One of the first Czech composers to achieve worldwide recognition, Antonín Dvořák (1841 – 1904) was passionate about his homeland and often incorporated Bohemian folk elements in his compositions. Dvořák's Cello Concerto in B Minor, Op. 104, was the last major symphonic work in his career. This piece is so magnificent that even the great Johannes Brahms reportedly commented, "If I had known that it was possible to compose such a concerto for the cello, I would have tried it myself!"
