First rule of classical music: don't go by the clear spelling of the composer's name. See: Beethoven, Wagner, Bach. (There are a few other composers of classical music, but I can't think of them right now.)
I know nothing about Czech, but there are unfamiliar symbols in Dvorak's name, which probably change the pronounciation.

I've worked with some Czech people, and I think it's a general principle of Czech to rearrange the letters in the word and throw in a few extra sounds for good measure.
