Antonín Dvořák and George Enescu had the ability to draw on the musical traditions of their nations with lightness and elegance without losing their individual musical languages.

Their passion for the culture in which they grew up left its mark on them, but it did not define them as artists, as evidenced by the greatness of the ideas they practiced. They were cosmopolitans who transformed tradition into a universal musical language of values – understandable to and fascinating for music lovers all over the world.
