OK - after the resounding success of my George Crumb submission, beloved by all, I thought I would challenge you by going from the sublime to the ridiculous.
So, you lot want tunes, eh?
Right! - they don't get a lot more tuneful than the music presented here.
Utterly gorgeous - beautiful, exciting and soulful by turns.
If you don't like this, I bloody well give up.
The Piano Quintet #2 Opus 81 by the composer of the New World Symphony.
He did other good stuff apart from writing the music for that Hovis advert.
Loads of recordings of it.
Dvorak was Czech, so here's a recording by Czech musicians, they should have a good handle on what it's all about.
The piece starts at track 4 on this recording.
And a start-studded cast play it here on YouTube - a superb performance, actually.
