Packed with memorable and emotionally charged melodies, Dvořák’s stunning Op. 81 Piano Quintet is among the best in the genre. Written in the same year and showing the composer’s lighter side, Dvořák wrote his Miniatures to play with close friends – the definition of chamber music. In between, Nino Rota’s dazzling Trio provides the perfect counterpoint for the 2016 summer season’s final concert.
