It’s a proposition that Joe Horowitz examines in close detail with a couple of radio pals here.

I’ve put it to one side for weekend listening, but there can be no doubt that America changed Dvorak – and for the better. Without his trip, there would have been no New World symphony and no cello concerto.

How much of America he morphed into music is the subject of Joe’s examination.
