The Piano Quintet is one of Dvorak’s most monumental and engaging works. The Peteris Vasks “Lonely Angel” is a breath-takingly lovely meditation for violin and strings. The Elgar Concerto, his last major work, needs no introduction - although you have almost certainly never heard it in this arrangement!
