This review is from: Songs & Dances: Nationalism in Music (Audio CD)

This disc has a very interesting selection of music from different nationalities. This disc is lots of fun to listen to, and the selections speak volumes about their country of origin as well as the country's place in history at the time.

Dvorak's Slavonic Dance No. 1 and Copland's Hoe-down are both very exciting peices, and really stand out on this excellent disc.

As always with this series, the liner notes are a good read and very well done.
