Dvořák, upon accepting the commission of this symphony from the Royal Philharmonic Society, promised a ‘work that, with God’s help, will shake the world’. The resulting mighty Seventh Symphony is equal to Brahms’s Third Symphony in its scale and emotional intensity. Overshadowed by intimations of tragedy its emotional gravity gives it claim to be Dvořák's greatest.
